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.
|
|
|
|
The overall goal is to reduce tree breakage and provide a platform to run tests
|
|
or code-quality checks that are too annoying or pedantic for any human to waste
|
|
their time with. Developers get immediate (and potentially public) feedback
|
|
about their changes, encouraging them to be more careful about testing before
|
|
checkin.
