I'm not sure what exactly you want to hear, but there are several levels of automatic code base management:

  • While working on a function, you can use something like autotest to get instant feedback on what works and what doesn't.

  • To ensure that your transactions really don't break anything, use a continuous integration server like cruisecontrolrb or Integrity (you can bind them to post-commit hooks on your SCM system).

  • Use some kind of exception notification system to catch any unforeseen errors that may appear during the production process.
