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.
