Features: Do you want to reliably and accurately build, test, and deploy your software? Do you want to spend less time on simple labor and dedicate most of your effort to refining your software and honing your skills? This book is exactly what you need. Let the computer do the work for you—let it handle all the tedious, repetitive tasks and routine build and test cycles, generate consistent releases, deploy and install applications, and monitor running programs. You will have more time and energy to enjoy the joy of writing high-quality code. This book is written by programmers and for programmers. Here, automation isn’t about payroll processing; it’s for those who write application software day after day, week after week. To keep pace with the development cycle, we need to work smart, not just hard. As long as a process is manual, problems can quickly accumulate from small issues. Automation is the solution. The content of this book is all about software development tools in the Java field. The Programmer’s Practice Trilogy is a series of four small books designed to help programmers solve specific problems they encounter in their daily work and cover fundamental knowledge essential for modern software development. This series not only showcases practical, hands-on techniques and tools but also embodies the development philosophy upheld by the authors in their renowned work, The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master. All of this serves as a powerful tool to help developers and teams carry out normal development and achieve high development efficiency. The Art of Project Automation: How to Build, Deploy, and Monitor Java Applications is the third book in the series. If you want to reliably and accurately build, test, and deploy your software, want to spend less time on simple labor and dedicate most of your effort to refining your software and honing your skills, this book is exactly what you need. Let the computer handle all the tedious, repetitive tasks and mundane chores—such as regular build and test cycles, generating consistent releases, deploying and installing applications, and monitoring running programs.
