About BuildBot
The BuildBot is a system to automate the build and test cycle during a software development process.
BuildBot homepage: http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/
Thanks to Howard Butler's installation of BuildBot, we've been able to test it with some of Open Source GIS projects for a few months.
After these tests, we've found that:
- BuildBot works very well
- BuildBot has a very positive effect on the development of the projects
- BuildBot an important communication channel about compilation and testing issues
- BuildBot helps developers and users to observe a cycle of development in details
- BuildBot decreases time needed to compile and test changes in a multiplatform environment
Hobu's BuildBot instances
