C is for Continuous: Going Beyond Continuous Integration
You've got your build automated using Ant/Maven/Gradle and you're building and running your unit test suite every time you check-in. That's easy. In fact, with Jenkins you can do this in under 5 minutes.
However, if we want to move beyond "mere" Continuous Integration to Continuous Delivery, there are many other areas in which we need to achieve "push button" automation. This talk will survey many of these areas and tie everything together with an integrated case study at the end.
In this talk, we'll look at:
- Automated Provisioning with tools like Vagrant, Chef and Puppet
- Automated Database Migrations with Liquibase
- Automated Deployment with Capistrano
- Automated User Acceptance Testing with Selenium 2, Geb and Spock
- Using Jenkins to orchestrate the entire delivery process
