CI Mobile: from developer to the AppStore in record time

When it comes to building new apps, the pendulum has started to shift away from continual integration. Industrialisation is the new norm. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, either: it’s reassuring for both dev teams (who can be sure that their products are technically sound) and clients (who don’t have to suffer endless non-regression tests.) This approach also goes hand-in-hand with a continual deployment strategy, as it allows for developers to automate their deliveries. It’s an Agile-friendly strategy where making deliverables available to clients becomes an iterative, incremental process. When it comes to making mobile apps, cloud-based solutions do exist, but these require sources — which belong to the client — to be externalised In this presentation, we’re going to show you a few on-premise solutions that we at Ippon have come up with to provide CI services for both native (iOS/Android) and hybrid mobile apps. This includes guaranteeing high-quality, non-regressive code (TU,TF), build certificate management, automatic deployment of “ready to install” deliverables and more.
