Chapter 5, Building the Code, explains how you need systems to build your code. They are described in this chapter.

Chapter 6, Testing the Code, shows you that if you are going to release your code early and often, you must be confident of its quality. Therefore, you need automated regression testing.

Chapter 7, Deploying the Code, shows how, when the code has been built and tested, you need to deploy it to your servers so that your customers can use the newly developed features.

Chapter 8, Monitoring the Code, covers how the code is safely deployed to your servers with the deployment solution of your choice; you need to watch over it to make sure it's running properly.

Chapter 9, Issue Tracking, looks at systems used to handle development workflows within an organization, such as issue tracking software. Such systems are an important aid when implementing Agile processes.
