How does eValid support "CI"?

We have a process of "continuous integration" and we need to accumulate test results in our SQL database to make daily assessments of build success. How does eValid support "CI"?

It should support your "continuous integration (CI)" process quite well.

The only concern we see is in case the build process is faster than the test process. That is, if the compilation and rebuild for only a few changes to an application takes only a few minutes, and executing the test suite for the applications takes a few hours, then there will be a temptation to continue changing the product before the test suite completes.

The risk here is that a code passage change that introduces an error would NOT be caught until the next time that test runs over that passage. If you are in CI that defect will be caught the next time, but it still remains that a test would have been missed because of the overlap.

Otherwise, this sounds just fine!
