Architecture & practice·Delivery, flow and technical debt
your change was merged and verified against everyone else's within the hour, not at the end of the sprint.
Continuous integration
Also calledCI
The practice of integrating everyone's work into a shared mainline frequently, with automated verification each time. The important half is the practice, not the server: a team with a build pipeline and week-long branches is not doing continuous integration, whatever the tool is called. The value is that integration problems are found while they are small and while the person who caused them still remembers the change.
