One new option is Xcode 5 combined with Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and OS X Server. OS X Server now has an Xcode server component which is good for running automated tests.

It can do:

1. Build (+check for warnings)
2. Analyze (ie. clang static analysis)
3. Run tests on iOS simulator + all connected devices connected to it with USB

For running tests on devices, it beats jenkins/hudson for simplicity and ease of setup by a huge margin. However the Xcode server (as of Xcode 5.1) is completely uncustomisable - if you want to add custom graphing of performance/memory usage/whatever, you can't - for that kind of power, jenkins/Hudson are far better.
