Before we get started on our discussion of the Amazon Device Farm service, we need to discuss some important concepts related to that technology. Let's take a look at some of the tools that developers use during the development process.
An Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, is an application that includes a combination of tools that developers need for application development. At a minimum, developers need code editors, compilers, debugging tools, and build automation tools. While a developer can find and use individual products to support application development, an IDE brings all of these features together to simplify the process.
Continuous Integration, or CI, is a software development practice for code changes of individual developers are frequently integrated into a shared repository. The purpose of a Continuous Integration environment is to provide feedback by verifying code integrations with automated build and automation tests. The goal of a CI is to quickly detect any defects introduced by each integration so that corrective action can be taken as soon as possible.
