GetAgile #37 | Is Your Team Integrating Continuously, or Just Running a CI Server? | Terry Yin
Thursday, 27 November, 2025
In this episode, Tomasz Wykowski talks with Terry Yin, a seasoned software product developer specializing in helping large-scale software development organizations. They discuss what Continuous Integration really means and why most teams that claim to be doing CI are, in fact, only running a CI server. Terry explains why integration tests can hide the lack of real integration, and how deterministic versioning, trunk-based development, and a shared codebase support true Continuous Integration in multi-team environments. They also discuss the organizational factors that make continuous integration difficult, how team goals and structures shape technical practices, and why high-quality engineering requires more than tooling. You will learn: why CI is not the same as having a CI server, how end-to-end tests support fast, reliable feedback, what "unit tests" should actually test, why deterministic versioning and trunk-based development matter, how organizational design influences technical practices. Recorded during the AgileByExample Conference in Warsaw.
