Chapter 6. Building the Sample Project

In this chapter we will discuss the process of final build configuration and then actually running automated builds of the sample_project. We will learn:

• Loading tasks: We will have a look at loading tasks to be run, adding them incrementally so we can check the configuration and ensure the expected results are being generated
• Defining custom and default tasks: The custom tasks will provide the means to configure custom task functionality for specific situations. The default task will allow us to create a launch configuration. This will require only a single command from the terminal to start up our automated build.
• Functional testing: Functional testing will provide examples of how to run and check the specific outcomes of each of the tasks included in our automated build
