 Abstract

While continuous integration has already been proven to positively affect software development, little is known about how it should be implemented based on project context. This paper investigates how CI pipelines are configured by analysing data mined from software projects on GitHub. This re- search has shown the continued rise of the CI plat- form GitHub Actions, which enables developers to broaden CI pipelines’ functionality due to great in- tegration into GitHub. Moreover, key differences between how jobs within pipelines are structured in Travis CI and GitHub Actions are outlined. These results can be used in future research, which will be aimed at connecting project context to CI setup with the goal of informing developers on maturing their CI configuration.
