Open Source Continuous Integration List

A

Apache Continuum
Apache Continuum is an enterprise-ready continuous integration server with features such as automated builds, release management, role-based security, and integration with popular build tools and source control management systems. Whether you have a centralized build team or want to put control of releases in the hands of developers, Continuum can help you improve quality and maintain a consistent build environment.

Apache Gump
Gump is Apache's continuous integration tool. It is written in python and fully supports Apache Ant, Apache Maven (1.x and 2.x) and other build tools. Gump is unique in that it builds and compiles software against the latest development versions of those projects. This allows gump to detect potentially incompatible changes to that software just a few hours after those changes are checked into the version control system. Notifications are sent to the project team as soon as such a change is detected, referencing more detailed reports available online.

B

Beebox
beebox is a complete solution for any development and systems management team. It allows you to standardize your development, deployment and quality assurance processes, automate repetitive tasks, and greatly simplify teamwork in a continuous integration environment.

Bitten
Bitten is a Python-based framework for collecting various software metrics via continuous integration. It builds on Trac to provide an integrated web-based user interface.

BuildBot
The BuildBot is a 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.

C

CABIE
Continuous Automated Build and Integration Environment. Cabie is a multi-platform, multi-cm client/server based application providing both command line and web-based access to real time build monitoring and execution information. Cabie builds jobs based upon configuration information stored in MySQL and will support virtually any build that can be called from the command line. Cabie provides a centralized collection point for all builds providing web based dynamic access, the collector is SQL based and provides information for all projects under Cabie's control. Cabie can be integrated with bug tracking systems and test systems with some effort depending on the complexity of those systems. With the idea in mind that most companies create build systems from the ground up, Cabie was designed to not have to re-write scripted builds but instead to integrate existing build scripts into a smart collector. Cabie provides rapid email notification and RSS integration to quickly handle build issues. Cabie provides the ability to run builds in parallel, series, to poll jobs or to allow the use of scripted nightly builds. Cabie is perfect for agile development in an environment that requires multiple languages and tools. Cabie supports Perforce, Subversion and CVS. The use of a backend broker allows anyone with perl skills to write support for additional CM systems.

Cerberus
Cerberus is a lightweight and easy-to-use Continuous Builder software for Ruby. It could be run periodically from a scheduler and check if application tests are broken. In case of failed tests Cerberus sends notification to developers.

Control Tier
ControlTier is a community driven, cross-platform software system used to coordinate application service management activities across multiple nodes and application tiers. The project is fully open source and many of the project contributions come from DTO Solutions ongoing consulting work for large scale e-commerce, software-as-a-service, and financial services operations.

CruiseControl
CruiseControl is both a continuous integration tool and an extensible framework for creating a custom continuous build process. It includes dozens of plugins for a variety of source controls, build technologies, and notifications schemes including email and instant messaging. A web interface provides details of the current and previous builds. And the standard CruiseControl distribution is augmented through a rich selection of 3rd Party Tools.

CruiseControl.NET
CruiseControl.NET (CCNet) consists of a suite of applications, but at its core is the CruiseControl.NET Server which is an automated integration server. The Server automates the integration process by monitoring the team's source control repository directly. Every time a developer commits a new set of modifications, the server will automatically launch an integration build to validate the changes. When the build is complete, the server notifies the developer whether the changes that they committed integrated successfully or not.

CruiseControl.rb
CruiseControl.rb is a continuous integration tool. Its basic purpose in life is to alert members of a software project when one of them checks something into source control that breaks the build. CC.rb is easy to install, pleasant to use and simple to hack. It's written in Ruby.

CDash
CDash is an open source, web-based software testing server. CDash aggregates, analyzes and displays the results of software testing processes submitted from clients located around the world. Developers depend on CDash to convey the state of a software system, and to continually improve its quality. CDash is a part of a larger software process that integrates Kitware's CMake, CTest, and CPack tools, as well as other external packages used to design, manage and maintain large-scale software systems.

D

Draco.NET
Draco.NET is a Windows service application designed to facilitate continuous integration. Draco.NET monitors your source code repository, automatically rebuilds your project when changes are detected and then emails you the build result along with a list of changes since the last build.

H

Hudson
Hudson monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Hudson focuses on the following two jobs:

1. Building/testing software projects continuously, just like CruiseControl or DamageControl. In a nutshell, Hudson provides an easy-to-use so-called continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build. The automated, continuous build increases the productivity.
2. Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For example, with cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is up to you to look at them diligently and notice when it broke. Hudson keeps those outputs and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong.

J

Jhbuild
Jhbuild is a tool used to build the whole GNOME desktop from the git source, however, it can be used to build other projects creating a moduleset for it

L

LuntBuild
Luntbuild is a powerful build automation and management tool. Continuous Integration or nightly builds can be easily set using a clean web interface. Executed builds are well managed using functions such as search, categorization, promotion, patching, deletion, etc. It also acts as a central build artifacts repository and download area for your whole team.

S

Sin
Sin is a framework for implementing Continuous Integration on top of the Subversion version control system.

T

Tinderbox
Tinderbox is a webtool that Mozilla developers use to check whether the current source code compiles on various platforms and passes automated test suites.
