On the SitePoint PHP blog a new tutorial has been posted from Peter Nijssen showing how to install and configure PHP-CI, a continuous integration library for PHP.

Creating an application is one thing. Keeping it to a certain quality level is another thing entirely. These days, you can find many tools which can help you to keep the quality of your application in shape. Running these tools one by one can be very time consuming. For that, you can install so called continuous integration (CI) services. PHPCI is one of those and in this article, we will dive into it.

The article links you to the latest release and how to install all needed dependencies via Composer. With it set up, they help you add a project and run a sample build. The configuration includes execution of the unit tests, PHP mess detector, PHP code sniffer, CPD, docblock checker and the PHP lines-of-code toolset.
