Implemented "Continuous Integration" using Atlassian BitBucket(Git) , Bamboo & JIRA. The integration of these 3 tools is well done by Atlassian. We are using :1-"Pull Request" to do :- "code review" tracing with approval with links between JIRA & BitBucket.2- "GateKeepers" to do : - local clone , checkout "Pull Request destination"; - local merge "Pull Request source" into "Pull Request destination"; - local "merge commit"; - build "installers"; - automated tests; - IF all is "green", "Git Push" resulting merge; Destination branches are Read/Only for people and Read/Write only to GakeKeepers.- All is traced in Bamboo, JIRA & "BitBucket Pull Request".Responsabilities :- Manage / improve / maintain the configuration management system in order to follow customer deliveries. Put in place the transition from SVN to GIT under Stash.- Manage / improve / maintain the integration between the JIRA change management system and the configuration managememntn systems SVN and Stash GIT,- Suggest branching strategies best practice to allow for complex parallel development. - Manage interdependencies between all the differents components of the differents systems.- Configuration and installation of the different components and environments used in tests.- Follow up customer documentation of official application versions delivered to customers.- Create, promote and manage official application versions and keep them in a vault based on contractual retention periods.- Automate and improve the build process in order to ensure it is always reliable, deterministic and always be able to reproduce any past build. Put in place the transition from Jenkins to Bamboo.- Maintain documentation of configuration management and build process.- Maintain documentation of the disaster recovery plans of all servers under the configuration management team’s responsibility, in coordination with the corporate backup system.
