Question

I want to set up a continuous integration and test framework for my open source C++ project. The desired features are:

1. check out the source code
2. run all th         


        

Answer 1

I am using CruiseControl and UnitTest++ today for exactly this task.

UnitTest++ is really nice although I feel sometimes limited by it around the corner. At least it is 10 times better than cppunit. Still haven't tried the google testing framework, it will be for my next project.

I have been extremely disappointed by CruiseControl. There are a few bugs and questions asked on the mailing list were never answered. Many of the default "features" to manage program execution and logging were not satisfying. We had to write our own report generation, our own stdout and stderr capturing, our own status mailer. There is not much left for CruiseControl, apart from running test at regular intervals and gathering them in a central web server.
