Which continuous integration library to use?

I worked with Cruise Control as a CI framework in my last project. Any recommendations on some other tools?

(Not that I found CruiseControl is missing, I just wanted to know someone made some comparisons)

We had great success with Hudson . It is easy to install and configure, has a large selection of plugins and a good web user interface. Plugins for code and coberurs are the two that we use.

JetBrain TeamCity is pretty cool.

We use Bamboo .

Since I switched from Ant to Maven as my build system, Continuum is an obvious choice. It is very clean and offers all the features I need.

Peter's second recommendation for Hudson . Continuum and Hudson are very easy to set up and use (compared to CruiseControl), but Hudson offers much more functionality. If you're curious, I'm already talking about why I would choose Hudson.

TeamCity, with its pre-tested commit feature , is also a good choice if you can live with the limitations of a free Professional license (maximum 20 users and 20 build configurations).

We use LuntBuild, which works great with maven.

In addition, Lunbuild offers a greater degree of granularity for access control. I did not use too many CI tools, but that was the main reason why my company switched to Luntbuild with Cruise Control. We wanted to give clients access to the assembly server so that they could retrieve daily assemblies, etc., but we could not access the assemblies of other clients.

We use TFS 2008, which works for us because we are largely an MS environment ... however, I also used FinalBuilder , which has more features than anything else I have seen, and will be especially useful in environments, where you used a combination of technologies (e.g. multiple SCMs).

TFS 2008 is pretty good. It has continuous integration built into the TFS assembly.

TFS 2008 is pretty good

Like CruiseControl and Nant

Check out the CI factory , which requires minimal configuration.
