Technology Enabled Continuous Software Development

Abstract

Given that organizations need to innovate and release software in faster parallel cycles of days or even hours, there are good reasons why new practices are being adopted in industry. In this paper, we present the case of a highly responsive process that is driven by tooling technology and which facilitates continual delivery of software at up to hourly intervals. Understanding and analyzing such industry practices can inform academic and practitioner dialogue on current challenges and potential solutions, and on the evolution of new ‘better’ practices.
