Build & Test: The Tip of the Agile Spear
More LOC slows down builds/tests
Platform proliferation
means more build targets and test environments
More frequent builds/tests
amplifies business impact, reduces
agility
Distributed build/test
infrastructure allows local control, but no economies
of scale
Speed is essential for Agile teams and Continuous Integration.
Slow cycles means devs don’t get the fast feedback necessary to iterate quickly and hit scheduled release dates.

Use Case: Boost, MS Code Coverage, Bullseye
• Tools: Boost, MS Code Coverage, Bullseye
• Need to reduce cycle time to 10 minutes to enable gated check-ins and continuous delivery
• Sticklers for test-driven development, suites will grow over time
• Time to run tests & coverage: Before: 7m30s After: 3m11s on 2 machines & 39s best case

Use Case: Selenium
• Browser tests not previously run during CI because they take too long
• Time to run test suite (~100 tests): Before: 27m30s After: 3m49s on 2 machines & 27s best
