Continuous integration (CI) is the practice of frequently building and testing a software system during its development. It is intended to ensure that code written by programmers is always buildable, runnable and passes automated testing. Developers merge to an integration branch and an automated system builds and tests.[1] Often, the automated process runs on each commit or runs on a schedule such as once a day.
Grady Booch first proposed the term CI in 1991,[2] although he did not advocate integrating multiple times a day, but later, CI came to include that aspect.[3]
