An Introduction
My name is Chris, I am a Software Manager at Mitratech, based in Swansea, UK.
I've been involved with Software Testing for over 7 years. I have felt the great pain of Manual Software testers and risen from Manual testing to becoming a Lead Tester to a QA Manager.
I have a passion to Automate Manual Processes as much as humanly possible.
There are some key concepts we should discuss which are the foundation of this blog:
Continuous Integration
Process of continually building software as changes are submitted to a source control system and running automated tests against the resulting build or notifying responsible users of its failure.
I have been using Jenkins for over 2 years and it has revolutionised the reliability and collaboration of our various teams to produce Software builds.
Continuous Delivery -
Process of taking latest Software builds and proceeding through a Release Management life-cycle in order to release new functionality to users as quickly as possible.
To manage this process I have recently started using Octopus Deploy to automate, audit and monitor the releases of our Products.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog!
