Go Extra-Agile – Customize Automated Test Suites on the Fly

Making releases a "non-event" is one of the goals many teams aspire to when they adopt agile development practices.  That might mean releasing several times daily, or (more likely) at the end of each iteration. Either way, most teams eventually normalize on some flavor of continuous delivery. A common flavor is to build the code and deploy it to a test environment several times a day, then pause at that point in the pipeline.  Every few days (or weeks), you look through the builds that passed all

Re-Running This, Re-Running That… coming up in Bamboo 4.3!

Not to mention their new Java Enterprise offering:

Announcing the Heroku Deploy Plugin for Bamboo!

You know what I love? Crawling into a bed made up with freshly-laundered sheets. Ahhh...! You know what I hate? Doing laundry and making my bed. Kind of a tricky spot to be in. A lot of people feel pretty much the same way about deploying software. I mean, how great is it to fire up your application on a shiny new environment that hasn't yet been polluted with hair-on-fire hacks, stray scripts or other development detrius? It's pretty great. But what a chore it can be to provision and prepare
