Continuous Integration Rules

There are seven practices that we've found work well for individuals and teams running CI on a project.

• Commit code frequently

• Don't commit broken code

• Fix broken builds immediately

• Write automated developer tests

• All tests and inspections must pass

• Run private builds

• Avoid getting broken code
