Companies and developers looking for a compatibility detection solution to compare software against their latest development versions
About Apache Gump
The Apache Gump continuous integration tool was the first one developed at the Apache Software Foundation. It is written in Python and fully supports Apache Ant, Apache Maven (1.x to 3.x) and other build tools. Gump is unique in that it builds and compiles software against the latest development versions of those projects. This allows Gump to detect potentially incompatible changes to that software just a few hours after those changes are checked into the version control system. Notifications are sent to the project team as soon as such a change is detected, referencing more detailed reports available online. You can set up and run Gump on your own machine and run it on your own projects, however it is currently most famous for building many of Apache's projects and their dependencies. For this purpose, the Gump project maintains its own dedicated server.
