2 1. Abstract With Business directions changing as rapidly as the market, clients demand rapid realignment of the project scopes to fulfill the same. This requires breaking down the project scope into smallest possible chunks and aligning the delivery in accordance, enabling the customer to have a fully tested, working piece of software at any given point of time. Therefore, realigning the scope of the project becomes feasible by the performing organization without generating any waste in the development and testing process. To achieve this, the project execution demands releases on much lesser intervals as small as a week. A method of churning out weekly releases with fully tested working functionality is therefore much needed. Deployment of tools and methodologies that help automate the repetitive phases like build, deploy, test, report and release are the need of the hour. Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect errors as quickly as possible. This case study attempts to highlight the experience of the authors in implementing Continuous Integration in a large project (> 10,000 person-days effort) through automation of build, deploy, test, report and release. 2. Target Audience This case study would prove useful to all the project managers who are looking at implementing automation of software testing (with or without Continuous Integration) in their projects through third-party / open source / freeware tools. This case study would especially be useful to all those project managers who are transitioning the execution of their project to Agile. 3. Application Area The application, for which continuous integration was implemented, is a web-based OSS (Operating Support Systems) solution which provides flow through provisioning (Service Fulfillment) and activation for the next generation network of the client. 4. Continuous Integration and its customized implementation 4.1 Need The driving force behind this implementation was the customer s expectation of getting fully tested and working functionality almost each week. Also it was expected that with shift in business Page 1 of 11

3 focus, the project should be able to re-align its scope and deliver it at a short notice such as end of the development cycle. This could only be achieved by delivering logical chunks of the application / solution functionality every week; which could not be achieved without automating the repetitive builddeploy-test-report-release cycle. 4.2 Customized Implementation of Continuous Integration Continuous Integration by its definition demands multiple integrations within a day and at least a daily build. However to fulfill the project objectives, Continuous Integration was implemented on a weekly basis. 4.3 Objectives set in implementing Continuous Integration and how were they achieved To implement Continuous Integration in the project; multiple objectives were set and realized through various tools: # Objective Enabler 1 Having extensive code coverage and exception path testing in Unit Testing, JUnit Automation of Unit Testing of Java Classes 2 Adoption of Agile delivery model required multiple releases in short intervals (going up-to 3 in a week). Test Partner and Shell Scripting Challenge A) Pre-release regression (unit and functional) testing looked almost impossible. Challenge B) Called for prolonged and repetitive effort from the release manager. 3 Removal of person dependency in handover between the build and the regression testing process, Curb the problem of resources on leave during such phases, Automation of end-to-end process (build, deploy, unit test, functional test) to realize the benefits of Continuous Integration Apache ANT, AutoIt and CruiseControl Page 2 of 11

4 4.4 Implementation Details Each tool that enabled CI was used to target a specific area of implementation: # Tool Name Tool Description Used to 1 JUnit Open Source framework for automation of unit Used to facilitate the development of automated unit test cases for the Java classes employed in the application testing 2 Apache ANT Freeware for automation of build and deploy of enterprise archives Used for automated build and deploy of the application. Removed person dependency and zeroed the scope of manual errors in the build / deploys. The XML feature of the ANT tool were used for the same by writing application build specific XMLs 3 Compuware Test Partner Third Party tool to automate GUI based functional testing Used to develop scripts for automating the functional testing of the application from end-to-end concentrating more on the GUI part 4 Shell Scripts Used to automate CLI Used to automate CLI based functional testing based functional testing 5 AutoIt Freeware Windows Automation Language to invoke Test Partner Used to invoke the application GUI and execute the required navigation in the functionality testing with Test Partner scripts scripts 6 CruiseControl Open Source framework for a continuous build and test process Used to serialize the execution of ANT build scripts, JUnit test cases and AutoIt executable. It was hence used to automate the build, deploy, unit testing, functional testing, report and release process from end-to-end These tools together facilitated the build, deploy, regression test (unit tests and functional tests), report and release process at the offset of a single mouse click, thereby achieving 100% automation. Page 3 of 11

5 5. Build-Deploy-Test-Report Release Process 5.1 Process before Implementing CI Before Implementing CI in the project, each module used to get executed in the traditional manner. Unit/Integration/System/Regression Test Cases were identified, and manually executed on the application to find and resolve bugs before delivery to the Client / UAT phase. This process could very well deliver the application once in a 90 day release cycle; however to churn out weekly releases with fully tested working functionality, this process would have caused a huge resource / cost overhead in the build-deploy-test-report-release phase. Page 4 of 11

6 5.2 Process after Implementing CI Churning out weekly releases with fully tested working functionality, without incurring any resource / cost overhead in the build-deploy-test-report-release phase was the driving force behind this new process. Page 5 of 11

7 This process contrasted the traditional process by: Page 6 of 11

8 a) Creating a single team out of the previously existing Testing and Development Teams; with each team member partnering in Design & Implementation of Application Module as well as the Automated test Suite Module. This also pepped up the team spirit among the otherwise separate Testing and Development Teams. b) Running the Design & Implementation of the Application Module and the Automated Test Suite Module in parallel, and likewise with their reviews. c) Identifying multiple Logical Point Merge Windows for the Application Code and Test Scripts for each module. This process pre-emptied even the System Level Bugs at a very early stage when compared to the traditional process where such bugs were identified only when the System Testing stage was reached. d) This process brought in obvious advantages of automation and made weekly releases of fully tested functionalities possible; without introducing any bugs in the earlier delivered functionalities. Page 7 of 11

9 5.3 Automated Build-Deploy-Test-Report-Release Process How does it work The Automated Build-Deploy-Test-Report-Release Process is realized in the following manner: 1. Developer checks in unit tested code and test classes into the CVS 2. Release Manager initiates a build in Cruise Control 3. Cruise Control checks out source code, JUnit test classes, build and install scripts from CVS 4. Cruise Control runs JUnit test classes on the checked out code, and makes available for viewing the report generated by JUnit in its dashboard 5. Cruise Control proceeds with the build if all JUnit test cases ran successfully; else halts the build at this stage 6. Cruise Control builds and installs the Application using ANT build and install scripts 7. Cruise Control invokes AutoIt scripts on the Windows PC designated for functional testing 8. The AutoIt scripts perform some post installation steps on the PC designated for functional testing using the COTS Product Admin Client 9. The AutoIt scripts then initiate the Test Partner automation testing script 10. Test Partner in turn uses the COTS Product Web Client to run the functional test cases 11. Test Partner generates a report with the status of the functional test cases run, which can be viewed from the Test Partner Admin Client This completes the Build-Deploy-Test-Report-Release process without any manual intervention at all and hence enables the project to have weekly releases without adding any overheads. Over and above, there is a lot of cost saving realized because of automation of testing alone. Page 8 of 11

10 6. Issues and Resolutions The achievements stated in this case-study did not materialize without throwing challenges of various forms. Handover between the UNIX box (build, deploy, unit test) and Windows machine (deploy, functional test) for end-to-end automation of build, deploy, test, report and release This was resolved through RMI and AutoIt No prior experience in all the tools This was resolved through extensive study and on-thejob learning Identification of the scope of each tool in the whole process on the basis of the functionality and interface provided by the tool This was resolved through brainstorming and expert opinion Changing the mindset of the people working in the project This was done through repeated sensitization sessions and issue resolution meetings 7. Benefits Achieved As a result of implementing Continuous Integration, following benefits were achieved: Activity led to savings (against Q4 05/06 - before implementing Continuous Integration) Savings in Q1 2006/07 Savings in Q2 2006/07 Build and Deploy Process time reduced from 3 hours to 15 minutes 7 9 Reduction in Unit Testing effort due to introduction of JUnit Automated Build-Deploy-Test-Report 10 8 Saving due to removal of manual regression by automation Reduction in test team size and improvement in test productivity Reduction in Rework Effort Total Effort Saving (Man Days) Total Effort Saving (in %) 18% 24% The savings were passed on to client by delivering more requirements with same effort. In addition to these tangible benefits achieved by the project, some additional benefits were also realized: Reduction in Delivered Defects Reduction in Cost of Quality High Resilience to scope changes High Customer Satisfaction Page 9 of 11
