Abstract
CI (Continuous Integration) is a development practice that provides an efficient and effective basis for the whole SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) [1]. We intended to improve quality of the software by means of process automation throughout CI infrastructure. Process automation let the improvement team to quantify the data that was collected automatically. By means of the autonomous SDLC via CI practices, we realized the benefits of the CI based process automation from quality assurance perspective. This paper is prepared to share the results of those quality improvement practices on SPI Manifesto basis. Main objective of this study is to improve the quality of the software. DDE (Defect Detection Effectiveness) and DD (Defect Density) metrics are collected for this purpose. These metrics are collected to evaluate the benefits of process automation till the end of the CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item) tests. Benefits of the improvement study is emphasized quantitatively to enlighten the planned future work on software quality improvement.
