Agenda

What is Continuous Integration and why do I need it?

How do I set it up?

How do I extend it to meet my needs in the future?

Question

Are you using a form of source control such as

Subversion, CVS, Perforce etc?

Human’s are not good at boring tasks

Running tests is boring

So Running tests manually is boring and you forget.

Tests break and you don’t know which change broke

what.

The longer it takes your to discover a test failure the

longer it will take to find the root cause and fix it.

So if your too bored to run the tests who will?

An Intern? The pointy haired boss? Or…

A Robot!

Think friendly Robot

Not

Your Development Cycle:

Multiple team members check in code to your version

control system

Have a robot integrate your team’s changes and run

your tests to make sure they are compatible.

If they are compatible release the changes to a test org

If they are not compatible and tests fail alert the person

who broke the tests and optionally the team.

O.K I’m interested.

• Most popular Continuous Integration server in use

today is called “Jenkins”.

• Open Source with a rich set of plugin’s available to

extend it’s functionality.

• They went with the “butler” metaphor instead of “robots”

in their Logo but otherwise I recommend it

Moving Parts

force.com migration tool

Source Control Repository (Subversion, CVS, perforce etc)

Lets go Shopping

We need to download the following:

Java JDK http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java

Apache Ant http://ant.apache.org

Force.com Migration tool (via the Setup menu)

Jenkins http://jenkins-ci.org/

What’s with all this software?

You came to the cloud to get away from installing

software.

The good news is your actual tests will execute in the

cloud using salesforce.com servers for the heavy lifting.

No need for a beefy build server

Proof: Win XP VM with 1 GB RAM

Java Script & VF

Who use’s Java script in their visual force pages:

frameworks, home grown, or combinations?

Who’s ever had an error in their Java script?

How was it found: QA, you, or a customer?

Java Script Testing with YUI Test

Handles: dependencies upon page events

Execution types: synchronous & asynchronous

Simulation of actions: mouse & keyboard

YUI Test – Test Case & Test Method

Enter The YUI Tests & Visual Force

Harness the power of YUI Test on a VF page

Selenium to the Rescue

Selenium IDE – Firefox add on that allows you to easily

create, run, & export test cases with test methods

Selenium RC Server – Server that allows you to run

your Selenium tests especially once they’ve been

converted to Java or another language

Selenium IDE

Selenium & Eclipse & Selenium RC Server

Copy & paste the primer code from the IDE

The Whole Enchilada
