Join us as we discuss how Continuous Integration is implemented in Roche where over 60 Salesforce developers work in over 20 projects on multiple, dedicated sandboxes. We use standard mechanisms, such as SVN, Bamboo deployments and test execution, common integration sandbox, and dedicated Salesforce Orgs for developers. Furthermore, we create custom tools based on Heroku/Metadata API that handle org-independent Apex Job scheduling, Apex deployment script execution, change tracking, and automatic package creation.
