A case study of continuous delivery of a mobile application

Abstract

The concept of continuous delivery extends the existing concept of continuous integration beyond its traditional scope of development, build, and test into deployment to end-users. This project is an implementation of continuous delivery for an Android application. In addition to deployment to client devices through the Google Play Store, the implemented continuous delivery “pipeline” uses integration of Google Analytics into the Android application and the continuous delivery pipeline itself to automate staging from alpha release to beta release based on observed manual tester activity.
