Ciągłe dostarczanie oprogramowania w języku Java. Najlepsze narzędzia i praktyki wdrażania kodu

Daniel Bryant, Abraham Marín-Pérez

W ciągu ostatnich lat radykalnie zmieniły się wymagania i oczekiwania biznesowe wobec oprogramowania. Kluczowymi wartościami są innowacyjność, szybkość i czas wejścia na rynek. Do spełnienia tych wymagań konieczne okazały się nowe architektury i modele tworzenia kodu. Metodyka ciągłego dostarczania, zwanego też CD, polega na tworzeniu w krótkich cyklach wartościowych i solidnych produktów. Funkcjonalności są dodawane w małych krokach, a oprogramowanie można wydawać niezawodnie w dowolnej chwili. To sprawia, że można też szybko otrzymywać informacje zwrotne. Jednak taki sposób pracy wymaga odpowiednich ram organizacyjnych, a zespół projektowy musi przyswoić nieco inny od tradycyjnego styl pracy. Ta książka jest praktycznym przewodnikiem, dzięki któremu programiści Javy opanują techniki potrzebne do pomyślnego zastosowania metody ciągłego dostarczania. Opisano tu najlepsze zasady budowy architektury oprogramowania, automatycznej kontroli jakości, pakowania aplikacji i wdrażania ich w różnych środowiskach produkcyjnych. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono testowaniu oprogramowania: przedstawiono całą gamę metodyk testowania, opisano ich zastosowanie i znaczenie w cyklu życia aplikacji. Ciekawym elementem książki są informacje o złych praktykach i antywzorcach wraz ze wskazówkami dotyczącymi rozwiązywania tego rodzaju problemów. W tej książce między innymi: solidne podstawy ciągłego dostarczania oprogramowania migracja do ciągłego dostarczania oprogramowania narzędzia: Jenkins, PMD i FindSecBugs zasady testowania funkcjonalności i jakości oprogramowania techniki obserwacji aplikacji w środowisku produkcyjnym Java i CD: tak zdobędziesz prawdziwą przewagę!
