Continuous Delivery, key to success?

Posted on November 13, 2011 by Andrew | Leave a comment

I was asked to reply to Paul Stack’s post here: http://www.paulstack.co.uk/blog/post/is-implementing-continuous-delivery-the-key-to-success.aspx

His question was whether Continuous Delivery is the key to success of an development project. It was an interesting point from a small business or project start-up perspective.

Read my comment on the post for a full opinion but basically I think all these types of approaches are important and start-ups should trust their technical experts when they advise investment in these things. However getting a something live is the key, and is really the main driver for Continuous Delivery anyway.

My beliefs on this sort of thing are pretty much driven by the Lean Principles. Getting, things used as early as possible is the key. Continuous Delivery can really help but for true start-ups it might not be that useful as the first thing to do, but I would suggest you keep it in mind and instill it as soon as possible.

That worked well. Couple of small issues when regenerating feature files but closing VS down and starting again seemed to fix it

Excellent. Out of town this weekend but will try that early next week. Looks like a good migration path. Thanks!

reason being that until I can get all developers onto specrun and licensed etc it is tough to switch fully

one thing I would love is ability to run either NUnit or SR against my feature files. Would provide me an effective migration path.

See for video on basic functionality. Very enlightening.
