Expand your CI beyond basic tests

Our next meetup is coming up! Within two weeks our own Tobias will be talking! If you work with CI and wonder what is possible to enhance the quality of your code, this talk is for you. This time we'll be at Summa again.

The lecture
Maybe you have a CI running your tests and optional a codestyle check. But what if you can expand your CI to run more jobs to increase your quality and gives less problems in your project?
During this talk we will see about multiple tools that will help you and you will sometimes hate. Not only for your code but for your project.
