19 2014 RED PILL Analytics What is Continuous Integration?

20 2014 RED PILL Analytics Martin Fowler: Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily leading to multiple integrations per day.!

21 2014 RED PILL Analytics Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly.

22 What does it look like? Fetch Changes Notify Success or Failure Check-in Changes 2014 RED PILL Analytics 22

23 What are the keys for OBI RPD development? Developers should have their own workstation with a full OBI stack Development tasks should be small and focused Regression tests need to be built with the RPD code, typically in the form of an Analysis or Logical SQL Notify Success or Failure Fetch Changes Check-in Changes Designate a Gatekeeper RED PILL Analytics 23

24 What are the keys for OBI RPD development? RPD should be represented as MDS XML Developers should work on feature branches Git works best as the source control server due to its metadata and many merge techniques Notify Success or Failure Fetch Changes Check-in Changes Merges are executed by the Gatekeeper Regression tests are part of code checked-out/in 2014 RED PILL Analytics 24

25 What are the keys for OBI RPD development? CI Server monitors Source Control for committed or merged code CI Server assembles new binary RPD with new code Binary RPD is deployed to temporary or permanent OBIEE Build Server CI Server runs before/after regression tests and compares Successful builds are committed back to Source Control and can optionally be deployed to additional environments Notify Success or Failure Fetch Changes Check-in Changes 2014 RED PILL Analytics 25

26 2014 RED PILL Analytics Why Agile?

27 One primary reason: 2014 RED PILL Analytics 27

28 Why iterative or incrementally? Users Don t always know exactly what they want. They are very adept at saying what they don t want after they see it. Want their requests as quickly as possible. Something is often better than nothing.! Developers Multi-user development is easier to support when development is done in smaller chunks. Are more prone to error when the work is large in scope. Would rather not spend a lot of their time testing RED PILL Analytics 28

29 What are the benefits? True multi-user development Faster time-to-market More accurate development Roll-back RPD to any point in time Automated regression testing Shorter testing cycles Detect RPD errors before Test phase Regression test new patches/ releases of OBIEE easily Automated deployment to any environment Track test history 2014 RED PILL Analytics 29
