Why am I doing this?

• Tools aren't the single most important thing for success– People are (team, leadership, communication, etc...)

• Once the we have estabilished a process, tools help a lot– Automating tasks– Enforcing the process– Facilitating cooperation

• Tools make best practices easier and less expensive

Speaker, Company 5

What we need to do

• Transforming sources into deployable artifacts

• Keeping tracks of changes in sources

• Keeping track of issues (bugs, RFE)

• Running tests and QA tools

Speaker, Company 6

Maven

• A tool for automating the build process

• Uses a declarative approach (Project Object Model)

• Plugin based

• Implements a distributed repository for artifacts

Mercurial

• A Distributed Source Control Mechanism (DSCM)– check out / commit + push pull

• Improves branch management over Subversion– “Branch per feature”

• Git is similar

Jira

• Starts as an issue tracker

• ... but it is more:– Project planning– Communication tool

Hudson

• A tool for Continous Integration (CI)– Web-based– Easy to install– Based on plugin, with a large ecosystem– Supports virtualisation– Cloud ready
