Steps

  1. Plan Integration Sequence:

    Create the integration sequence. Sequencing depends on factors such as dependencies (functionality that must be integrated at the same time, before, or after other functionality), availability, and risk.
  2. Establish Integration Criteria:

    Create the criteria to be met prior to integrating code. Typical criteria include running unit tests, conducting peer reviews, and passing code analysis tool tests.
  3. Review Integration Plan:

    Review, revise, and approve the product integration planning.
