About this eBook

In this book we explore Continuous Integration
in practice providing valuable information to start applying it soon
to your Android projects.

Ant is used to automate the building process,
git to create a simple version control system repository to store our
source code and manage the changes, and finally installed and
configured Jenkins as the Continuous Integration of choice. In this
journey we detail the creation of projects and jobs for automating the creation
of a sample application, TemperatureConverter, its dependency library LocalViewServer and
its tests and we emphasized on the relationship between the projects.
Finally, we analyze a way of getting XML results from Android tests
and implemented this to obtain an attractive interface to monitor the
running of tests, their results, and the existing trends using EMMA code coverage reports. 

Ratings and reviews

More like an introduction leaflet than a book. Could be good for beginners but is way too expensive for a book that contains mostly hudson general guidelines. No tips, no practical examples. No good

The book's content doesn't worth its price. Too few and general information which can be easily found by just googling the CI topic.
