Conclusion and Outlook

The reification of the continuous integration process using a specialized tool as an artifact works well. In particular, the shift from non-XP development to XP was stabilized by this tool.

The IntegrationServer is only a first step toward a set of artifacts stabilizing the XP process. In addition to presenting the IntegrationServer, this chapter is intended to provoke a discussion on other artifacts suitable for stabilizing the XP process.
