CruiseControl is a tool used to implement "Continuous Integration". XP addresses ... using "continuous integration", which is one of the 12 XP practices. ...describes the immediate and ongoing integration of completed tasks into the system. A completed task in general consists of both new unit tests and source code modifications.

Along with your NAnt build, additional tasks such as automated testing can be added, run, and logged. -----Original Message----- From: Mauro Ciaccio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 6:14 AM To: NAnt Users mailing list Subject: RE: [Nant-users] Using Nant on Test Servers Thanks for all the feedback! We too are a small IT company that struggles in trying to separate development, testing and deployment. On the basis of the positive feedback received we will now pursue a greater use of Nant to better separate development and testing. The feedback also raised some questions: > We hope to automate as much of this as possible. If your QA department > can automate test procedures such that they do not need user interaction > to complete, you can drop the test itself into nant as part of your > automated build-and-test cycle. a) Does "drop the test itself into Nant" mean that our QA staff need to create test scripts in Nant? Or is there some way to run 3rd party software scripts from within Nant? > I am also using > CruiseControl to manage the NAnt build cycle. It works great. They are > both great tools. b) Could you explain a bit what CruiseControl is used for and/or provide a link? c) Yes, changing msi settings is sometimes an issue, but certainly the least critical. Thanks again for all your feedback.
