Continuous integration with Travis CI

Once you've written code on GitHub, how do you make sure it's bug free? Continuous integration (CI) is a requirement in modern software development. Adding automated tests and controls to your pipeline saves you time and gives your team improved reliability.

What you'll learn

In this course we'll answer common questions, like:

• How do I configure Travis CI to work with GitHub?
• How can I protect my branches so CI tests pass before merging is allowed?
• What are build statuses?
• How do I create a test?

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Identify when a project is using continuous integration
• Set up continuous integration for one of your projects
• Protect branches based on the result of a build from continuous integration
• Customize builds
• Add tests for your project
• Define continuous delivery
• Define continuous deployment

What you'll build

• Completed source repository
• Sample build from the working project

Prerequisites

We recommend you first complete the following courses:

• Reviewing pull requests to learn how to work within GitHub pull requests and how to submit approvals.
