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
