This week Parker and Stephen welcome Brenden Duncombe to the show to discuss the pros and cons of continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (aka CI/CD) for hardware. Continuous integration (CI) refers to the practice of automatically and frequently integrating code changes into a shared source code repository. Continuous delivery and/or deployment (CD) is a two-part process that refers to the integration, testing, and delivery of code changes. In theory, CI/CD helps organizations avoid bugs and code failures while maintaining a continuous cycle of software development and updates, but we wanted to learn more about this with Brenden, so Parker and Stephen asked him about CI/CD, and also covered the following:

Brenden’s product development background
“What is a Director of Customer Engineering?”
A brief history of CI/CD
Why it’s the opposite of a nightmare
Unit tests for software…how does it work for hardware?
Pinball Wizardry
A “smearing” vs. a “silo”
Test-driven dev benefits over the entire dev cycle
Is CI/CD a hard concept to sell?
How to make the investment worthwhile
The Hardware Regression Struggle
When start-ups aren’t really prepared for contract manufacturers
What is the ideal development cycle?
Building something for your contract manufacturer? Always build two
Teenage Engineering
Prep your firmware people with dev boards before the hardware reaches them
“Like taking your specification doc and writing a test doc on top of that”

+ more!
