<summary>What is Continuous Integration?</summary><br><b>
A development practice where developers integrate code into a shared repository frequently. It can range from a couple of changes every day or week to a couple of changes in one hour in larger scales.
Each piece of code (change/patch) is verified, to make the change is safe to merge. Today, it's a common practice to test the change using an automated build that makes sure the code can integrated. It can be one build which runs several tests in different levels (unit, functional, etc.) or several separate builds that all or some has to pass in order for the change to be merged into the repository.

* It's primarily meant for bundling topic branches together
