Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration (CI) is the name given to the process of assisting our PR checks and resolving uncertainty in code status.

CI checks are built and maintained by the BHoM CI/CD team, but are operated automatically by our CI systems (including, but not limited to, AppVeyor, Azure DevOps and associated bots.¹)

The aim of CI checks is to increase confidence in our code, without unduly hindering our ability to prototype, develop, and extend the BHoM.

The pages within this section detail the CI checks we currently have operating, so that everyone can see how the checks are running and help ensure their PRs pass the checks.
