Wouldn’t it be nice if the simple action of checking in your latest changes into source control triggered an official build? Wouldn’t it be even better if, upon a successful build, the latest executables were automatically deployed to your test bed without you lifting a finger? If you’re not lucky enough to be deploying to a cloud platform that provides such functionality out of the box, automating your process might seem daunting. In this session, Danielle will demonstrate how you can leverage tools such as TeamCity and Octopus Deploy to automate your builds and deployments. You’ll be introduced to a variety of options you can use to customize the process in order to meet your particular requirements. Along the way, you’ll learn about some neat productivity features you may wish to leverage as well as some pitfalls you would do well to avoid. You’ll leave this session with the knowledge of how to automate your own builds and deployments and how to extend that automation chain so you can reach the next level. Test automation, anyone?
