Never in twenty years have I had the opportunity to do CI with a team, mostly because nobody I've ever worked for invested in such comprehensive automated testing that manual regression tests could be abandoned. Where I'm at now, we literally schedule integrations and releases around what QA has had time to test, and they're guided by project priorities rather than whatever got finished earliest.
- MartinCron 15y agoYou have my condolences. Sincerely.
- lifeisstillgood 15y agoThis is extremely common in my experience (and the corrollary effect - we cannot refactor that code, it will be too expensive to retest. Dont touch that code path, add a new one with cut and paste) Anyway, it is possible to bring Agile to a large organisation, but it generally needs first to solve tooling and build problems - I would not start a single sprint until there was source control, complete automated build, and enough tests to be reasonable. Amazing how much pain can be endured by teams. That much pain can teach you not to care.
- devs1010 15y agoThis is exactly how it is in the company I work for as well. There has been a half-assed attempt at CI, the guy who was setting it up left before it was finished though, its rather sad that its this way but when a codebase is 10 years old it can be hard to inject new processes.
