Ruben Blenicio Tavares Silva, Carla Ilane Moreira Bezerra · 2021
This research aims to understand how Continuous Integration (CI) bad practices affect the progress of activities in closed-source projects. To guide the research, we sought to answer three key questions: (1) What are the most frequent CI bad practices with the greatest negative impact on closed-source projects?; (2) How does CI assist the code review process in closed-source projects?; and, (3) How are internal quality attributes affected by CI bad practices?. Thus, we present the planning of this research and preliminary results obtained. Our study aims to help organizations address CI bad practices in the context of their software projects.
