Continuous Integration for Browser Apps/Extensions?
As
far as I know none has thought of this idea but probably have.
Sometime ago I had the chance to ask this question during an
interview. I think interviews
are a great opportunity to bound around ideas. and What I got out of
this one was a statement on whether continuous
integration
would be very useful with green browsers (browser that update
themselves
and keep only two or so versions around). I don't think this
statement hurts or impacts
my idea. I'm was not looking at just testing my apps and extensions
but to automating pushes to production and to detect future issues
with newer versions of browsers which is what I think the
point of I thought..
That
being said its just an idea and maybe in the future I will implement
it. I could there even spin up a couple more ideas off this one. Again not
sure if anyone has thought of this, I think a lot of people in in web
developers have moved away
from making plug-ins
and the only reason I'm thinking about this idea to remove myself from it so
its kinda fun insight.
