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.
