Continuous integration is an important component of agile development. It allows teams to work together and catch integration bugs early by continuously integrating into the central code base.

TeamCity : a continuous integration and build management solution

I first heard about TeamCity at Javapolis back in December.

It’s definitely the way forward in terms of team productivity and software quality. Finally a tool that does something to aid continuous integration.

What it does is it manages a number of machines that will run all the test each time someone checks code in. This frees up the developer from having to run tests that sometimes take hours. If a test breaks, the checkin is rejected and team members are notified. Then someone can indicate that he/she is working on it. So basically, TeamCity helps communication within a team, which is one of the most important aspects of software development.

They just released TeamCity 2.0 Beta. Anyone is welcome to be a beta tester by downloading it. A test-drive is also available online.

So even if you don’t have that many tests yet, do keep this product in mind because this is the way to go.
