As a developer, we all are using some kind of source control provider to maintain versions of our source code. But another aspects of source control to is to make sure that code committed in source code repositories are perfect and it will not break the build of particular software. That’s why Continuous integration is very much popular this days.
What is Continuous Integration:
Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of merging all developer working copies with a shared mainline several times a day. It was first named and proposed by Grady Booch in his method, who did not advocate integrating several times a day.In simple words, when developers checks in or commit code to source code repository a build of software will automatically triggers to check whether current check-in/commit of code breaks code or not.
