Integration | Glossary

Definition

Agile integration, as a software development practice favours continuous code releases in shorter bursts, over longer, prescribed cycles. This is done to reduce instability, complexity and risk during a software release. It’s a methodology that employs strict automation, version control and rapid problem resolution in order to ensure the availability of stable updates at any given moment.
