Continuous Integration Technology And Application For Mobile Platforms Development

With the development of mobile, people’s need for mobile apps is increasing.Internet companies and traditional industries are all working to seek opportunities in theinternet age. In order to meet the demand, a large number of mobile apps have beendesigned and put into market. Yet, a huge market, fast upgrading period and higherdemand have presented app developers new challenges, which can be reflected on thefollowing factors, like limited development period, short lifecycle, high quality demandand broad coverage platform. In order to improve the efficiency of app developers, weaims to propose continuous integration system for mobile platform development, whichcan effectively help developer, solve problems like the test, integration and deploymentafter the coding done.In the process of software development, problems may arise, particularly inproducing software products featuring short life cycle and multiple platforms, which willresult in the delay or rewrite of the program. When developing software, integrationproblem is the last appeared yet the most affected one. Integration may cost developersmore time than developing the software. Hence, modern software development needscontinuous integration system to avoid the negative effects brought by the problem.Continuous integration system can minimize the risk of rewriting the program, ensuredevelopment process, shorten the time and improve the quality.The content of this thesis based on analyzing the concept, component and theprocess of continuous integration system, and combining a real case, to illustrate thesignificance of the system to the mobile platform software program. By doing this, thepaper attempts to help developers to shorten their development period and improve theprogram quality in the process of software development.
