<h1>CruiseControl</h1>
<p>CruiseControl is a framework for a continuous build process. It
includes, but is not limited to, plugins for email notification, Ant,
and various source control tools. A web interface is provided to view
the details of the current and previous builds.</p>
<p>CruiseControl is distributed under a BSD-style
<a href="license.html">license</a> and is free for use. CruiseControl
adheres to an open source model and therefore makes the source code
freely available.</p>
<p>CruiseControl is maintained and developed by a group of dedicated
<a href="developers.html">volunteers</a>.</p>
<h2>What is Continuous Integration?</h2>
<p><a class="external" href="http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html">Continuous
Integration</a> by Martin Fowler and Matthew Foemmel.</p>
<p>An important part of any software development process is getting
reliable builds of the software. Despite its importance, we are often
surprised when this isn't done. We stress a fully automated and
reproducible build, including testing, that runs many times a day. This
allows each developer to integrate daily thus reducing integration
problems.</p>
