Luckily software engineering has developed the process of continuous integration designed to reduce wasted engineering effort. About D&R; |; D&R Software; |; dr-embedded.com; |; Login; |; Subscribe to D&R SoC News Alert The combined solutions provide accelerated and continuous SoC integration, offering significant improvements in both productivity and quality of results (QoR). Frequeny integration helps us understand sucess, failure & quality parameters; This means Sale / Marketing team can be confident of delivering a usable software. Reduce Risks by running continious unit tests, integration tests; Produce deployable software at any time and at any place; Enhances project(s) visibility (especially when we have lot of choose from); Helps improve confidence in the software product from the development team recent build status. The question then should be what is the value of the process as compared to the cost and risk? Inspection; Continuous Deployment. Things that are traditionally not associated with Software quality assurance relies on short-cycle repetition and thoroughness which are easier to automate alongside with the deployment automation. Eric Ries, co-founder and former CTO of IMVU, is a huge proponent of continuous deployment as a method of improving software quality due to the discipline, automation, and rigorous standards that are required in order to accomplish . Release It: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software by Michael T. It's feels a even bit understatement to label it as continuous “deployment” because its advantages include improved productivity, increased customer satisfaction, reduced risk, decreased cost and better predictability and planning. €ARM delivers packaged and verified IP that enables our customers to meet their design targets with reduced risk,” said John Goodenough, vice president of Design Technology and Automation, ARM.
