Continuous integration pairs continuous builds with test automation to ensure that each build also assesses the quality of the code base. And remember: to fully realize the benefits, a team must also have the discipline to pause development and address breakages right away.
Per Diem expenses are divided into the categories: Lodging expenses, Mileage expenses, and Meal & Incidental Expenses (abbreviated as M&IE). M&IE Per Diem is designed to cover daily cost of food and other incidental expenses. Meal expenses include the cost of breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a particular area.
There are two kinds of Per Diem. Lodging Per Diem covers hotel or other lodging expenses. If an employee spends less than the Per Diem rate on a hotel they must return the difference to the government. The second form of Per Diem is Meals and Incidentals (M&IE). M&IE Per Diem is designed to cover the cost of breakfast, lunch and dinner and other miscellaneous charges one might incur while on travel. M&IE Per Diem will be paid at a pro-rated rate if employee is on travel for part of a day. Employees are allowed to keep the entire M&IE Per Diem regardless of whether they spend all of it that day. Per Diem rates are based on location and time of the year. Hotel prices often increase in the summer months so Per Diem rates will increase during those months as well. The federal government conducts cost of living surveys every year and uses this data set Per Diem rates appropriately.
