Continuous Integration (CI) is a popular concept actively exploited by Agile software development teams. The idea, originally formulated by Martin Fowler in September 2000, is simple and at the same time very effective: on a daily basis, a pre-configured automata (CI tool) grabs the latest version of source code from the repository, compiles it, tests, and reports about any problems found. The report reaches all parties involved and triggers certain organizational and management actions. If, at any moment of time, anyone introduces a test-detectable defect into the repository, everybody gets notified on the next day.
