And since no one has mentioned it yet, you might want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration. Jenkins is an open source system for doing CI. It used to be called Hudson. (Those are both names of butlers, which has always been the mascot of the project.) Over time, Jenkins has become a very powerful hub for automated testing and deployment, and most serious software projects integrate with Jenkins via "plugins". (Although some of those projects don't do it very well, Fitnesse for example.) -C _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
