• Why are we doing this ?• Agile lifecycle on Mobile Development• One step forward to continuous

delivery• Mobile ALM in a real life experiment• Beyond development … everything

Mobile• Call to action !

Agenda


www. -ci.Mobi

Why are we doing this ?

Who is a Mobile Application Developer ?

Who is working in a team ?

Raise your hand !


www. -ci.Mobi

Anatomy of a typical (mobile) Project

Client (mobile) tier• Rich client UX• Multi handset

(Android / iOS / WP8)• Hybrid / Mobile Web

UX• Local caching

Server (cloud) tier• RESTFul API• Multiple client

support (native versions, Web)

• User authentication• Persistent storage


www. -ci.Mobi

Why (mobile) Project is more complex ?

Client (mobile) platforms diversity is hell !!!


www. -ci.Mobi

Lifecycle of a (mobile) Project


www. -ci.Mobi

Is it really agile ?

Agile software development means:1. Always working software through

Continuous Integration2. Welcome change at any stage3. Close daily collaboration with Business4. Short loop of changes / feedback5. Simplicity


www. -ci.Mobi

Impediments in (mobile) Agility (1/3)

1. Complex client runtime environment– Mobile Phones are not PCs– Emulators <> real handsets– Physical limits to Continuous Integration


www. -ci.Mobi


2. Client / Server integration– multi-Client with multi-Server versions– Different Client vs Server environment– Changes often impact multiple tiers


www. -ci.Mobi


3. Client distribution / installation– Native channels for distributing clients

(Google Play, AppStore, Windows Phone Store) – Delay from built to deployed to handsets– Problems in getting Business up-to-date


www. -ci.Mobi

What would we need for extra agility ?

1. Real continuous delivery to real handsets

Cloud deploy

Client deploy

Change Build


www. -ci.Mobi


2. Client upgrade and notification in real-time

Client Ver. X

One-tap upgrade

Client Ver. X+1


www. -ci.Mobi


3. Bring all together in a single place

Issues


www. -ci.Mobi


Simple isn't it ?!


www. -ci.Mobi

Cool … and if have two projects ?

"WTF WTF WTF WTF #$@#!%@$"Clean-up data, re-configure, scream and shout … … and over again and again and again !My project is on local net … tunnels, firewalls, VPNs, slow … WTF WTF WTF !!!


www. -ci.Mobi

We can do better !

1. No need to setup 4+ apps / tools on stakeholders' phones


www. -ci.Mobi

We can do better !

2. One-tap access to any Project Lifecycle item(Story, Bug, Test, Build, anything !)


www. -ci.Mobi

We can do better !

3. Link stories to builds, bugs, tests, results, artifacts … connect the dots to see the full picture !


www. -ci.Mobi

We can do better !

4. One set of credentials and identity to rule them all, inside or outside your VPN !


www. -ci.Mobi

We can do better !

5. Notify all stakeholders in real-time about new Betas and give "one-tap" upgrade process !

Real life [experiment] story

The challenge: developing a Mobile App for a Global Mobile Operator in 8 EU Countries


www. -ci.Mobi

Center of the lifecycle: Continuous Integration

1. Monitor the SCM changes2. Build the software

(Client, Backend)3. Run unit-tests4. Deploy backend to QA… but one step was missing … Deploy client to

handsets with JenkinsMobi


www. -ci.Mobi

Jenkins hits for Mobile

• Android build Simple Ant with ADT• Android unit-test Android Emulator Plugin + monkey

(https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Android+Emulator+Plugin )

JenkinsMobi vision

1. Mobile is the 21st Century Web 3.02. Development will be more and more

Mobile-centric3. Mobile is the center of the Team

Cooperation4. Continuous Integration is the center

of the Development loop5. All tools can be "plugged" into the

Mobile
