What tools do you use for Automated Builds / Automated Deployments? Why? [closed]

Answer 1

CruiseControl for automated builds. Works great.

Answer 2

Automated Build Studio.

Instead of letting you mes with scripts or xml files, it comes with predefined graphical macro operations that allows you to create tasks easily.

Answer 3

We use Hericus Zed Builds And Bugs Management for our automated builds.

We have 4 branches of code, each with java, c++, C#, cross platform compiles and installers for 5 OS's.

Answer 4

Hudson for automated builds. I chose it because it was the easiest to setup and demo. A system that's too complex and isn't slick-looking won't impress management enough to get them on-board for automated builds. Especially in a project that has a lot of inertia.

Answer 5

Make for the builds. Debian packages for deployments (since our production servers runs it).

Answer 6

At work we use good ol' Ant to build our Java servlets.
