Shifting Gears in Continuous Integration: BMW’s Strategies for High-Velocity Builds

Shifting Gears in Continuous Integration: BMW’s Strategies for High-Velocity Builds

연구 분야: Software Development

학회: 2025 IEEE International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation Workshops (ICSTW)

Increasing customer demands have lead to high complexity automotive software, necessitating continuous refinement of our software development strategies at BMW. The transition to Bazel and the adoption of remote caching, remote build execution, and metastatic nodes were major stepping stones in keeping our Continuous Integration (CI) process feasible. However, challenges persist, including non-cached test executions and long integration times. Our future plans include utilising Machine Learning to optimise our CI pipelines for faster developer feedback cycles and more efficient resource consumption.
