I think you'll find that having a smokebot adds to the "simple and not
requiring effort".
A smokebot is a script that runs your test suite at regular intervals,
kicked off by cron. It checks out a given CVS branch, and then runs the
entire test suite. For us, it runs once an hour, and if any tests fail,
the entire department gets notified.
# Crontab entries
0 * * * * smokebot HEAD [EMAIL PROTECTED]
30 * * * * smokebot cp2004-branch [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Note that it pulls the main trunk to do testing on the hour, and the
branch for development on the half-hour.
And here's the smokebot script
# The script proper
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo Must pass at least a branch, and one email address,
echo plus any parms to echo pass to smoke.
exit 1
