BuildBot Description

System to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure. The guilty developer can be identified and harassed without human intervention. By running the builds on a variety of platforms, developers who do not have the facilities to test their changes everywhere before checkin will at least know shortly afterwards whether they have broken the build or not. Warning counts, lint checks, image size, compile time, and other build parameters can be tracked over time, are more visible, and are therefore easier to improve.BuildBot's overall goal is to reduce tree breakage and to provide a platform to run code-quality checks and tests that are too pedantic and annoying for any human to waste their time with.Developers get immediate (and potentially public) feedback about their changes, encouraging them to be more careful about testing before checkin. Here are some key features of "BuildBot": · run builds on a variety of slave platforms · arbitrary build process: handles projects using C, Python, whatever · minimal host requirements: python and Twisted · slaves can be behind a firewall if they can still do checkout · status delivery through web page, email, IRC, other protocols · track builds in progress, provide estimated completion time · flexible configuration by subclassing generic build process classes · debug tools to force a new build, submit fake Changes, query slave status · released under the GPL Requirements: · Python 2.3 or later What's New in This Release: · Fixes a few test failures in 0.7.11, and gives a default value for branchType if it is not specified by the master.
