Continuous Integration presentation at Microsoft
A few days ago I presented the topic "Continuous Integration" to part of the Architect community in Argentina.
The presentation was about how to achieve higher quality software by using Microsoft tools (VSTS, Sharepoint, Office, and more) and how our team solved some of the most common issues in software development projects by defining and fine tuning methodologies, processes, tools and mindset.
I try to be practical and talk and show HOW do we do things, rather than giving long theorical explanations about the topic. Of course the topics touched diverse points of interest like requirements approval process for external & internal clients, formal registration & audit of approval proof, publication of metrics and project status to internal & external clients, ALM processes for heterogeneus platforms, and much (MUCH) more.
I really enjoyed giving this talk and the audience was really active and interested in our experience, they asked a lot of very good questions and It was a real pleasure to interact with them and discuss such challenging topics with bright people.
Juan Ladetto, a Software Architect from Microsoft Argentina coordinating this Architect Community activities, has posted about this presentation and if interested you can download the PPT from there:
