SYSE.31:4.5 - Use the exact continuous-integration Method when integration is missing

Apply DORA Continuous integration, “How to implement CI” and “Common pitfalls” for frequent small changes to a shared mainline. Supply the actual mainline, current change, adequate build/tests, accepting application team and permission. Recheck against the current integration base when another change intervenes and check the resulting shared revision.

The first result is a checked integrated mainline revision with qualified feedback, or a blocked/restored mainline and an unresolved change returned to its team. If the mainline breaks, stop qualifying its artifacts; the authorized team repairs or withdraws the offending integration and rebuilds/retests the resulting revision. Separately green branches do not supply that result.

The source’s cadence and TDD guidance need their own fit to the team’s work; they are not universal scheduling or development-method mandates here. A checked mainline is still not an installed application or release permission.
