Backtracking Incremental Continuous Integration
نویسنده
چکیده
Failing integration builds are show stoppers. Development activity is stalled because developers have to wait with integrating new changes until the problem is fixed and a successful build has been run. We show how backtracking can be used to mitigate the impact of build failures in the context of component-based software development. This way, even in the face of failure, development may continue and a working version is always available.

The Sisyphus Continuous Integration System
Integration hell is a prime example of software evolution gone out of control. The Sisyphus continuous integration system is designed to prevent this situation in the context of component-based software configuration management. We show how incremental and backtracking techniques are applied to strike a balance between maximal feedback and being up-to-the-minute, and how these techniques enable...
متن کاملOptimistic Backtracking - A Backtracking Overlay for Deterministic Incremental Parsing
This paper describes a backtracking strategy for an incremental deterministic transitionbased parser for HPSG. The method could theoretically be implemented on any other transition-based parser with some adjustments. In this paper, the algorithm is evaluated on CuteForce, an efficient deterministic shiftreduce HPSG parser. The backtracking strategy may serve to improve existing parsers, or to a...
متن کاملIncremental Closure of Free Variable Tableaux
This paper presents a technique for automated theorem proving with free variable tableaux that does not require backtracking. Most existing automated proof procedures using free variable tableaux require iterative deepening and backtracking over applied instantiations to guarantee completeness. If the correct instantiation is hard to find, this can lead to a significant amount of duplicated wor...
متن کاملA Backtracking Strategy for Order-Independent Incremental Learning
Agents that exist in an environment that changes over time, and are able to take into account the temporal nature of experience, are commonly called incremental learners. It is widely known that incremental learning systems suffer from order effects, a phenomenon observed when differently ordered sequences of examples lead to different results. The goal of this paper is presenting INTHELEXback,...
متن کاملAn Incremental Hierarchical Constraint Solver
This paper presents an incremental method to solve hierarchies of constraints over nite domains, which borrows techniques developed in intelligent backtracking, and nds locally-predicate-better solutions. A prototype implementation of this method, IHCS, was written in C and can be integrated with diierent programming environments. In particular, with Prolog producing an instance of an HCLP lang...
