Jenkins

Continuous Integration is being more and more important as software release cycles tend to become shorter. It means that the building process of software releases has to be automatized. This is precisely the point where Jenkins/Hudson comes into play. Jenkins/Hudson is able to build, test and package software according to predefined time schedules or after any changes in the version tracking system.

After this process has been structured once, Jenkins/Hudson also offers features like report generation and detailed long-term monitoring. Furthermore, a multitude of plugins covers a large range of requirements.
