Continuous Integration using Jenkins and iSYSTEM Tools

One of the topics that generates most interest during discussions with customers currently is that of Continuous Integration (CI for short). With it, a single server can offload the development team from much of the time-consuming building and testing of everything from individual embedded software modules through to complete projects with testing on a hardware-in-the-loop system (HIL). We're not going into all the details in this webinar, rather we will give the high-level overview of what a CI does and what you need to consider integrating iSYSTEM development and test tools in such a process.

There are several different CI platforms available now, but the ones most often mentioned to us to date have been Jenkins, Hudson (the precursor to Jenkins) and Bamboo. We have been working with and testing Jenkins together with testIDEA and our Python scripting tool isystem.connect, so it will be our webinar focus here. However, the principles, and sometimes even the steps, discussed here apply equally to other CI platforms too.
