Automate The Small Things
Mobile moves fast, and so do you. To meet your deadlines, you want to build the right thing, at the right time; every time.
Your continuous integration pipeline allows you to do this, but can it do more?
– How can you enforce coding formatting, styling conventions, and best practices?
– Do you build everything on every commit? Do you have a daily build or customize your build per branch?
– What do you record and analyze? Are your tests passing? Do your screens look correct? Is your apk getting too large?
– How do you distribute your apk for testing and release?
– How do you track, record, and notify quickly when issues arise?
In this talk, you’ll what tools are available at every step of the continuous integration pipeline; allowing you to automate as much as possible and dedicate your time to what matters most.
