Scrum, Behavior Driven Development, Continuous Integration and Refactoring Tools for Agile Software Development

 

Open Source Continuous Integration Tools

 

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.


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


Build Brigade

The Build Brigade is an effort to automate discovery and reporting of Gnome build errors and to make testing of the development version easy for everyone.


build-o-matic

build-o-matic is a simple continuous integration server which is easy to configure and customize.


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.


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.


CCNetConfig

CCNetConfig allows you to create CruiseControl.NET configuration file by adding a new project and setting properties. CCNetConfig supports all standard configuration blocks and can be extended to support custom configuration blocks as well.


CircleCI

CircleCI makes it incredibly easy to set up Continuous Integration and Deployment. Connect your Github account, and we automatically set up your tests. We support Ruby, Python, Node, Java, PHP, and more, connected to MySQL, Mongo, Postgres, Cassandra, Riak, etc. Tests are run on a managed platform tuned for speed, can test many code pushes concurrently, and can split large test suites to run them in a fraction of the time, all automatically. When tests complete, new code can be deployed automatically, to ensure your code gets to customers immediately.


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. Cerberus works perfectly both on Windows and *nix platforms and supports popular version control systems like Subversion, Git, Darcs and Perforce. It also has many ways in publishing build results such as e-mail, jabber, Twitter, Campfire, IRC and RSS files.

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.


DotCi

DotCi brings ease of build configuration of cloud ci systems like travisci and ease of runtime environment configuration of Docker to Jenkins.


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. Draco.NET version 1.5 supports builds using NAnt build tool or via Visual Studio .NET 2002/2003 solution files. Draco.NET can monitor Source Control repositories in CVS, Visual SourceSafe, PVCS, SubVersion, and others.

Flexmojos

Flexmojos provides first-class support for Flex and AIR development within Apache Maven. It allows Maven to compile, optimize, and test Flex SWF, Flex SWC, Air SWF and Air SWC. The main goal is to provide full support to all mxmlc/compc options. Major features: * SWF, SWC, AIR and Flex versions; * AIR signing and .air file generation; * RSL and caching framework support; * Modules support; * full implementation of MXMLC and COMPC options; * Flex 3 and Flex 4 * use FLEX-OEM-COMPILER - faster, less memory usage, no need of references to local drive; * compatible with several unit testing frameworks: FlexUnit, FUnit, asUnit, AdvancedFlex, fluint and FlexUnit 4 * html-wrappers generation * code generation using GAS3


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, continoues 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.


hudsonTracker - A Continuous Integration Monitor

This is a handy utility which monitors the status of Hudson (a Continuous Integration/Build engine) by parsing its RSS feed. hudsonTracker sits in your system tray, and displays notifications (and optionally plays sounds) when builds pass or fail.
