4.5. Continuous Integration

The Tic Tac Toe library uses the Travis CI continuous integration system to build and test every commit on a variety of platforms. 1 This ensures potential problems are found as soon as possible.

The continuous integration system also enforces additional rules such as requiring the project have fully documented public APIs and contain no unused code.

A .travis.yml included in the library’s source code repository tells Travis CI how to build and test the code. The Travis CI Tutorial provides a starting point on how to create the .travis.yml file.

The library’s source code repository README.md file contains a link to the Travis CI build page and includes a badge that indicates if the build is passing or failing.
