The release date for the newest addition to Addison-Wesley’s renowned Martin Fowler Signature series, Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk, is just around the corner.

Authored by Paul Duvall, with co-authors Andrew Glover and Stephen Matyas, the book is available for pre-order to be shipped June 29, 2007.

If you’ve noticed that you’d rather be developing software for users rather than fiddling with software integration issues, this book will help you get there without much of the “pain” you thought would be involved.

Part I of the book provides an introduction to Continuous Integration (CI) including practices and techniques for using CI effectively with your teams. Part II expands the core concepts into other effective processes performed by CI systems, such as testing, inspection, deployment, and feedback.

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to head on over to Amazon to pre-order a copy (or three). Prepare to be spoiled.
