Continuous Integration with TeamCity

In the course Continuous Integration with TeamCity from SpiralTrain participants learn how the latest version of TeamCity can be used to set up a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)

DevOps Process

CI/CD is part of the DevOps process whereby developers check in code regularly into a central repository and relevant tests and builds are automatically executed. Tools ensure that the new code is correct before it is integrated into the software project.

Team City Configuration

The course starts with a discussion of the configuration of TeamCity and the connection of TeamCity to version management systems such as Git, CVS and BitBucket. The various build agents, build steps, gated commits, user configuration and IDE integration are also treated.

Project Configuration

Next attention is paid to project configuration with project IDs, meta runners and issue trackers. Project actions, parameters and the use of shared resources are also on the course schedule.

Build Configuration

Furthermore the build configurations in TeamCity are discussed in more detail and the various build steps, failure conditions, dependencies and parameters are explained. The various agent requirements and VCS settings are also addressed.

Build Execution

The execution of build actions with Maven, Gradle or .NET are also on the program of the course. This includes the discussion of code inspections and code coverage and the implementation of Selenium Tests.

Administration

Subsequently there is ample attention for TeamCity Administration, where global settings, authentication settings, making backups and sending notifications are discussed.

Reporting

Finally the reporting options from TeamCity are reviewed with which insight can be gained into build history, usage statistics and agent logs.
