The risk of a broken trunk was offset by allowing each developer to run the full test suite in the Amazon EC2 cloud.</p> http://agile2009.agilealliance.org/node/3166#comments Tools for Agility Experience report continuous integration distribution version control Lean 45 minutes Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:17:01 +0000 flacoste 3166 at http://agile2009.agilealliance.org
