Management Plan
• Build Management
• Continous Integration
The Problem
• The transition from source code to the
executable application contains many
mechanical steps:
• Settings required paths and libraries
• Compiling source code
• Copying source files (e.g. images, sound files, start
scripts)
• Setting of file permissions (e.g. to executable)
• Packaging of the application (e.g. zip, tar, dmg)
• Executing these steps manually is timeconsuming and the chance of introducing
failures is high
Requirements for Build Management
• Large and distributed software projects need to
provide a development infrastructure with an
integrated build management that supports:
•
•
•
•
•
Regular builds from the master directory
Automated execution of tests
E-mail notification
Determination of code metrics
Automated publishing of the applications and test
results (e.g. to a website)
• Tools for Build Management:
• Unix’s Make
• Ant
• Maven
Activities in Build Management
• The transition from source code to the
executable application contains many
mechanical (boring) activities:
• Settings required paths and libraries
• Compiling source code
• Copying source files (e.g. images, sound files, start
scripts)
• Setting of file permissions (e.g. to executable)
• Packaging of the application (e.g. zip, tar, dmg)
• Executing these steps manually is timeconsuming and the chance of introducing
failures is high
• Automating these steps has its origins in Unix
Development of Build Management
• 1950:
• Execution of a sequence of commands
• Job command language scripts
• 1970s: make
• Unix tool to support builds with makefiles
• 1990s: Ant
• Open source platform independent build tool
• 2000s: Maven
• Project management and integrated build tool
Example: Build Management in Unix
• The Unix command make executes compilation of
large programs according to a set of dependency
rules
• Dependency rule
• Tree structure of prerequisites
• Time stamps of files
Example of a dependency rule:
main.obj : main.c
gcc -c main.c
Example Makefile
project.exe : main.obj io.obj
tlink main.obj, io.obj, project.exe
main.obj : main.c
gcc -c main.c
io.obj : io.c
gcc - c io.c
Make
• Make is as powerful as the existing commands it
executes
• However, make has its problems:
• Complex shell scripts are hard to maintain and hard to
debug
• Different shell commands are needed on different
platforms
• Firs step towards platform independence: Ant
Ant, a Platform Independent Build
Management Tool
• Build tool based on Java, http://ant.apache.org
• Tasks get executed by invoking Java classes,
not shell scripts or shell commands
• Ant allows the execution of tasks such as:
•
•
•
•
•
compilation
execution
file system operations (e.g. copy, move)
archiving
deployment
• Ant has become a standard in the Java Open
Source community
• Ant build files are platform independent
• Ant’s build file is an XML document
General Structure of Ant Build Files
Examples of Ant Tasks
Each Ant Task is a Java application.
Custom tasks can be implemented in Java to support
custom needs.
Construction of Ant Build Files
• The default name for a Ant build file is build.xml
• The xml root element must be the ‘project’
element
• The ‘default’ attribute of the project element is
required and specifies the default target to use
• Targets contain zero or more AntTasks
• The ‘name’ attribute is required
• AntTasks are the smallest units of the build
process
Ant Build File Example
<project default="hello">
<target name="hello">
<echo message="Hello, World"/>
</target>
</project>
Execution
of build file:
% ant
Buildfile: build.xml
hello: [echo] Hello, World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 seconds
Maven Overview
• A Java project management and integration
build tool, http://maven.apache.org/
• Maven supports the same functionality as Ant
• Ant is actually integrated into Maven
• Maven’s extended functionality
• Automatically generates a development website
containing
• Project organization information
• Project development state reports
• Based on the concept of a central project object
model (POM)
Maven Capabilities
• Maven is able to
• Receive developer artifacts from the programmers’
SCM directory
• Compile and package the source code
• Download dependent artifacts from another (external)
repository
• Generate Javadoc websites
• Generate developer and code metrics
• Generate websites containing status information to
track issues
• Deploy the compiled source code and the generated
website to a webserver
Modeling a Project in Maven
Project Object Model (POM)
Project name, id, description, version number
Website URL

Developer information
License information
Dependencies

Example:
Generating ARENA’s Development Website
• ARENA uses a SCM master
directory at
oose.globalse.org
• ARENA depends on the
Java library servlet.jar
available in the Ibiblio
repository
• The ARENA website is
located on the server
sysiphus.in.tum.de
• Maven compiles the
ARENA sources in the
programmer’s directory of
the developer

Build Management
• Continous Integration
Typical Problems and Risks in Software
Projects
• Lack of project visibility
• Nobody knows what is going on
• Late discovery of faults
• The later a fault is found, the more expensive it is to fix
it.
• Lack of deployable software
• “It worked on my machine”
• Also, horizontal integration testing strategies don’t
focus on an early running system. It is often created in
the last moment
• Low quality software
• Managers and developers make last-minute decisions to
deliver a system developed with the above problems.
Continuous Integration Motivation
• Risk #1: The later integration occurs in a
project, the bigger is the risk that unexpected
faults occur
• Risk #2: The higher the complexity of the
software system, the more difficult it is to
integrate its components
• Continous integration addresses these risks by
building as early as possible and frequently
• Additional Advantages:
• There is always an executable version of the system
• Team members have a good overview of the project
status
Definition Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration: A software
development method where members of a
team integrate their work frequently, usually
each person integrates at least daily, leading
to multiple integrations per day.
Each integration is verified by an automated
build including the execution of tests to detect
integration errors as quickly as possible.
Continuous Integration can regularly
answers these Questions
• Do all the software components work together?
• How much code is covered by automated tests?
• Where all tests successful after the latest
change?
• What is my code complexity?
• Is the team adhering to coding standards?
• Where there any problems with the last
deployment?
Modeling a Continuous Integration System
• Functions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Set up scheduling strategy (poll, event-based)
Detect change
Execute build script when change has been detected
Run unit test cases
Generate project status metrics
Visualize status of the projects
Move successful builds into Software repository
• Components (Subsystems)
• Master Directory: Version control (IEEE: Controlled Library).
• Builder Subsystem: Execute build script when a change has been
detected
• Continuous Integration (CI) Server
• Management Subsystem: Visualize project status via Webbrowser
• Notification Subsystem: Publishes results of the build via different
channels (E-Mail Client, RSS Feed)

Integration

CruiseControl: Subsystem Overview (not in
UML!)
Source: http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/overview.html
Cruise Control: The Build Loop
• The daemon process checks for source code
changes in the projects
• If a change has occurred, the subsystem
executes the following actions:
• Obtain all the build artifacts (described in
“config.xml”)
• Possibly via the project.xml file (if Maven is used)
• Execute the Build file
• Write the results into a log file (“xml logs”)
• Send notifications to subscribers.
Cruise Control: Reporting Module and
Dashboard
• Reporting: A Java Server Page (JSP) based web
page
• Reads the XML log file
• Gives access to the build artifacts
• Shows build & test results
• Dashboard: An Ajax based web page
• Gives overview of projects on the cruise control server

Each Ant Task is a Java application.
Custom tasks can be implemented in Java to support
custom needs.
