Improved Software Production for the LHC Tunnel Cryogenics Control System

Abstract The software development for the control system of the cryogenics in the LHC is partially automatized. However, every single modification requires a sequence of consecutive and interdependent tasks to be executed manually by software developers. A large number of control system consolidations and the evolution of the used IT technologies lead to reviewing the software production methodology. As a result, an open-source continuous integration server has been employed integrating all development tasks, tools and technologies. This paper describes the main improvements that have been made to fully automate the process of software production and the achieved results.
