+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.
