Efficient Automated Build and Deployment Framework with Parallel Process

Abstract: Continuous integration has been in theory for a long time but successful practicing is still a dream. To resolve the integration problems and increase the customer satisfaction, it is important to follow the practice of continuous integration in software development. Doing manual build and deployment regularly results in lot of time consumption and thus becomes an inefficient process. This paper proposes architecture for build and deployment by following best practices. It aims to fully automate the build process by using some available tools for source management, binary management and compilation. Build architecture gives a method to integrate all tools in build server. Successful completion of build is followed by deployment. This paper also proposes a deployment architecture which is common for all development environments. Deployment architecture states three steps, required to do the deployment and also proposes optional features to enhance the deployment process.
