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. + +See also buildbot-slave (the slave component of BuildBot). |
