Explanation

Continuous Integration (CI) is the XP practice of merging all developer working copies to a shared mainline frequently - ideally multiple times per day. The ultimate goal is to keep the codebase in a deployable state at nearly all times, meaning the only undeployed work is what was completed in the last few hours. This is achieved through automated builds, automated tests, and immediate feedback on integration failures. Collective Code Ownership is about who can edit code, not about deployment readiness.
