Version Control Blog

Continuous Integration was popularized by Martin Fowler and Kent Beck. It is so tightly integrated with version control system (”Maintain a Single Source Repository”, “Everyone Commits Every Day”, “Don’t Commit Broken Code” are basic practices of CI), that it clearly deserves mentioning here. Martin Fowler wrote an overview article: “Continuous Integration”.

“Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk” is the book by Paul Duvall which was published in Martin Fowler signature series. You may find sample chapters online:

• Chapter II. “Introducing Continuous Integration” on the book website http://integratebutton.com/;
• Chapter VI. “Continuous Testing” on Infoq.com.

Dave Dribin wrote a couple of posts on choosing between the usual suspects: Mercurial, Bazaar and Git. Well-written, recommended.
