  <title>BuildBot build automation system</title>

  <description>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.
