Understanding continuous integration

Updated on April 5, 2022

With continuous integration, application developers frequently check in their changes to the source environment and use an automated build process to automatically verify these changes. Continuous integration identifies issues and pinpoints them early in the cycle. Use Jenkins with the prpcServiceUtils tool and the execute test service to automatically generate a potentially deployable application and export the application archive to a binary repository such as JFrog Artifactory.

During continuous integration, maintain the following best practices:

  • To automatically generate a valid application, properly define the application Rule-Admin-Product rule and update the rule whenever the application changes. The prpcServiceUtils tool requires a predefined Rule-Admin-Product rule.
  • To identify issues early, run unit tests and critical integration tests before packaging the application. If any one of these tests fails, stop the release pipeline until the issue is fixed.
  • Publish the exported application archives into a repository such as JFrog Artifactory to maintain a version history of deployable applications.
