Jenkins

Integration Description: 

Jenkins, formerly known as "Hudson Labs", monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Jenkins focuses on the following two jobs:

  1. Building/testing software projects continuously.
    In a nutshell, Jenkins provides an easy-to-use so-called continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build. The automated, continuous build increases the productivity.
  2. Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs.
    Jobs in cron or procmail, and even jobs which are run on a remote machine. For example, with cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is up to the user to examine them diligently and notice when if things have broken. Jenkins keeps those outputs and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong.
