It describes different models […]

  Working with continuous integration is an exciting new filed. You get your code into the main branch directly. Well, that’s what the theory says. What you really get is feedback directly, at least the feedback from the automated checks for technical debt, testing and similar. What you do not get quickly is the review of […]
