We now have a continuous integration and deployment environment for MyEd builds:

·         New releases of uPortal software can be easily merged with local customisations

·         Automated build and testing are applied to merged code

·         Including testing of integrations with test instances of co-dependent services

·         Automated deployment through the various staging environments to live

Delivery of Bamboo completed

 

Delivery completed.

Some issues and some lessons learned - see the delivery milestone for details.

But good work by the project team, no looking forward to the second deployment to show Bamboo's effectiveness now that it is in place.

Progress at Acceptance Stage

Despite the problems with getting TEST data for Library and Timetabling, project is good shape all round.

No panic around the two channels - we will deliver these as part of a second milestone, when we deliver the minor upgrade.
