it is nice to read about the positive influence that Ward is having at Microsoft.
i just picked this quote up from Ward Cunningham off of the agile-testing mailing list a thought it was worth sharing:
Let me reduce this to a formula:
reason x test = confidence
Write this down. It is worth remembering.
how is it that he keeps coming up with these pithy quotes? it's almost like he's reached a kind of zen masterdom. :)
last night i completed the final draft of my paper "Scaling Continuous Integration" for XP2004. yahoo! it's done. this blog doesn't seem to have a section to post files, so if you are interested in a copy, please let me know by email. just to pique your interest, here's a copy of the abstract:
Of all the Extreme Programming practices, continuous integration is one of the least controversial -- the benefits of
an integrated, streamlined build process is something that software developers immediately recognise. However, as a
project scales up in size and complexity, continuous integration can become increasingly hard to practice successfully.
By focussing on the problems associated with a growing project, this paper describes a variety of strategies for
successfully scaling continuous integration.
