Daily Build Practice
Daily Build as one of the best practices developed by software, Microsoft even referred to as project management heartbeat, which shows its important role in software development. Why is there such a high evaluation? In addition to some significant improvements that are usually mentioned, it is mainly because there are some prerequisites before DAILY Build, which means that you have implemented at least SCM management:
1. Source management
2. Unit test
3. Version management
4. BUG management
DAILY Build on the above-mentioned basis can be said to be a habit of software development. It will be inseparable after the beginning of the beginning, but it is inseparable from a habit.
Daily Build now has a lot of popular tools, such as Final Builder, support scripting writing, is a very good tool. But there is no money to buy tools. In fact, simply use the script to write a batch tool to perform Daily Build, or you can basically implement the DAILY Build's function. The following has been Source Safe Delphi as an example to implement Daily Build.
:: Daily Build Script
:: Viery 2004/07/20
:: Your Project's Path in vss
Set ssproject = "$ / project1 / source"
:: Your VSS Username and Password
Set username = viery
SET Password = Password
:: Path to vss Command Line Tool and the VSS DB you want to use.
SET VSSPATH = "C: /Develop/vss/win32/ss.exe"
Set ssdir = c: / wevelop / vss
:: Path to the Directory where you will be keeping the archive
SET ArchivePath = C: / Project / Build
:: Path to the delphi executable.
SET DELPHIPATH = "c: / program files / borland / delphi7 / bin / dcc32.exe"
:: Path to Library
set
Delphi
= "C: / Program Files / Borland / Delphi7"
::
Delphi
Project Name
Set projectname = Project1
:: LibPath
Set libpath = "c: / program files / borland / delphi7 / lib;"
:: Begin Code
FOR / F "tokens = 2-4 delims = / -" %% a in ('Date / T') do set strdate = %% C %% a %% B
MKDIR% ArchivePath% /% strdate% / abc0def
CD% ArchivePath% /% strdate%
% Vsspath% get% ssProject% -Y% username%,% password% -r -i-
% Delphipath% -U% libpath% -nc: / project / build / dcu% ArchivePath% /% strdate% /% projectname%
:: Archive
:: Move to Release Location
:: Label The Files
% Vsspath% label% ssproject% -l% strdate% -Y% username%,% password% -i - :: send emails to all to report
The above is a basic daily build script, the basic features of the implementation include:
1. Get Lastest Version from Source Safe
2. Call Delphi compile, create the latest version
3. Publish the new version to a specific version of the directory
4. Compress, release, send email
5. Put the latest version number Label source code.
Then set this batch to the Windows scheduling task to perform simple Daily Build management every night.
Starting from simplicity, Daily Build, the most important thing is to start.
