Backtracking Incremental Continuous Integration

van der Storm, Tijs

Failing integration builds are show stoppers. Development activity is stalled because developers have to wait with integrating new changes until the problem is fixed and a successful build has been run. We show how backtracking can be used to mitigate the impact of build failures in the context of component-based software development. This way, even in the face of failure, development may continue and a working version is always available.
