Hi everyone, For those who haven't checked in out yet, there are less than 2 weeks left until the deadline for submitting talks to Agile 09 Conference in...
I really liked this insight: "as expectations for services to be “always on” becomes the norm, the interest and demand for practices such as Continuous...
This was a great article. It expanded my understanding of what was really possible today. I've been discussing (with anyone who will listen) an idea I call...
Ben, ... Ideal ... (or ... I have found that one component of "the net value of a line of code" is the information I gain by trying that path. Sometimes that...
I can't define it. Maybe there's a way, maybe there's not. My point is, until we've proven that there's no way to get that information that quickly, we...
I am out of the office until 24/02/2009. I will respond to your message when I get back. Meanwhile, for anything to do with Cruise, contact Chad Wathington (VP...
I've got some serious qualms with the whole CD thing, which is weird since that's a part of my business model. (!) I'm a CM/Build/Process consultant, with an...
I hope you won't mind my saying so, but I have been reminded lately of the bad old days of testing, and I just have to say, you guys rock. I just love ...
... I'm still not quite sure why you're skeptical of Continuous Deployment. The way I see it is that CD is (to paraphrase what some have said about short...
... We address this by having a pipeline of "continuous deploys", where builds only hit a certain environment through manual intervention. We automatically...

For us it depends on what you really mean by Continuous Deploys. I don't think it can mean that upon checking in code a build occurs, test are run and deploy...
What we did was both of staging deployment and Prod deployment once per week, and normally the version in Prod is older than in staging, which means VP=VS-1. ...
Ben (belated response, I've been away), I can't imagine a how a system might give coders immediate feedback on the value of a line of code they just wrote....

... Here's my take on that: If you are going the agile route, then you have a list of customer stories that you are trying to code. And those stories are being...
Austin, I only know the relative value of user stories. I have quantitative budget for corse grain outcomes. Even with a trivial dependency graph, it's...

Robert, I agree there are lots of reasons why Features are a good candidate for 'atomic unit of value', especially from a developer's perspective. I appreciate...

On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 7:56 PM, Robert Hanson ... One of the great challenges in assigning any "value" to a change or line of code is just this - value is...

Hey everyone, Just a reminder that the deadline for booking a hotel room utilizing the conference group rate ends on March 1. I just booked a room there. The...
Hi All, I have set up a new Continuous Integration tools poll for 2009. The idea is to get an idea of current industry practices, so the more people who vote, ...
John, We sent out a link to your poll to our user community (including clients) on Friday -- a move that I thought you would welcome as it publicized your site...
Hi Maciej, The poll was being flooded with votes from a group of excessively bunched IP addresses (all coming from the same geographical location) - all but 2...
John, While I certainly understand the need for 'good' data I think we also have to be cognizant of a few factors. If I can use UHC as just one example, we...
Hi Yanko, That's fair enough, and makes for an interesting discussion. I would not be opposed to each team voting for AntHill pro in cases like this (I guess a...
I have no intention of voting 50 times. It is unfortunate however that it is hard to collect good data. Obviously, no matter what we conceive of there will be...
It might be interesting then to expand the poll and have folks be able to specify not only what tool they are using, but how many projects they are using it...
Agreed. I suspect that many of the popular open-source tools are still likely to be under-represented, as a huge number of users just download and use them,...
Dbmaintain <http://www.dbmaintain.org> is a new open source project that takes care of the database part of automatic deployments. Essentially it does the...
