Levelize Build

Statement

Execute the build in accordance with module levelization.

Description

An automated and repeatable build is a critical aspect to most successful development projects. First and foremost, an automated and repeatable build forces you to integrate early and integrate often, so you’re guaranteed to always have a system that works. Of course, you must follow a couple of rules:

• Any compile error that ever creeps in must be immediately resolved. Because you should be using a version control system, the projects comprising your application should always be free of any compilation errors.

• Any unit test that fails must be immediately fixed. Unit and acceptance tests should be run after each change you make, and if you ever find that a test fails, you should treat this failure with the same urgency you’d give a compile error.
