Continuous Integration:
Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk
Paul Duvall, Andrew Glover and Steve Matyas
June 2007
Part of Addison-Wesley’s
renowned Martin Fowler Signature series, Continuous Integration:
Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk, received the highly
coveted Jolt--for best product in the "Technical Books" category at this
year's Jolt Awards ceremony held on March 5, 2008.
If you’ve noticed that you’d rather be developing software for users
rather than fiddling with software integration issues, this book will
help you get there without much of the “pain” you thought would be
involved.
Part I of the book provides an introduction to Continuous
Integration (CI) including practices and techniques for using CI
effectively with your teams. Part II expands the core concepts into
other effective processes performed by CI systems, such as testing,
inspection, deployment, and feedback.

UML 2 represents a significant update to the UML specification, from providing more robust mechanisms for modeling workflow and actions to making the modeling language more executable. Now in its second edition, this bestselling book provides you with all the tools you’ll need for effective modeling with UML 2.
The authors get you up to speed by presenting an overview of UML and its main features. You’ll then learn how to apply UML to produce effective diagrams as you progress through more advanced topics such as use-case diagrams, classes and their relationships, dynamic diagrams, system architecture, and extending UML. Eriksson, Penker, Lyons, Fado, and contributing author Duvall take you through the process of modeling with UML so that you can successfully deliver a software product or information management system.
With the help of numerous examples and an extensive case study, this book teaches you how to:
- Organize, describe, assess, test, and realize use cases
