Continua CI

Features

Continuous integration

Continuously integrate and remove the hassles associated with running builds. Continua CI will detect any changes in your source, check these against your own business logic and run your build automatically.

Group your configurations

Managing multiple builds is a breeze using Continua CI's Project and Configuration architecture. Separate your builds into individual Configurations and group them into Projects that are defined by you.

Structure your build flow

Control the flow of your build using Continua CI's advanced workflow editor. This includes Try & Catch statements and all the looping & conditional statements found in a complete programming language.

Share the workload

Make the most of your network and distribute your builds over multiple Agents. Continua CI scales with your business. So, if you have more builds, add more agents.

Keep your existing tools

Continua CI supports all major source repositories including Subversion, Team Foundation Server and Git. Link your repositories and let Continua CI detect when changes occur, in any branch.

Rich, web-based UI

Access your builds anywhere with Continua CI's all-new, HTML5 user interface. Track and change your builds without installing annoying client software on your developer machines.

Easily find those build errors

Traceability is never an issue in Continua CI. Each build run contains a detailed log specifying whether actions completed successfully or why they failed.

Build projects in parallel

Run your build processes efficiently and maximise your developer's precious time. By running your builds in parallel, they can run continuously while your developers can get back to what they do best, develop.

FinalBuilder & MSBuilder integration

Don't throw out your complex FinalBuilder and MSBuild configurations. Continua CI is integrated with several build runners giving you the best of both continuous integration and independent build runners.

Build when you want

Start your builds the way you want. Continua CI supports timed triggers, commit/checkin triggers and build completed triggers, enabling you to daisy chain your builds.

Control your deployment

Deploy manually or automatically, it's up to you. With Continua CI the level of automation is completely your decision. Set up your builds to run and release autonomously, manually or somewhere in between.

Link builds with your issue tracker

Simplify your issue tracking process by letting Continua CI link your builds with your issue tracker. Continua CI will link meaningful commit/checkin messages to your issue tracker, enabling easier issue traceback.

Set who can do what

Control who can access what. Continua CI includes support for users, roles and groups, which can be linked to your existing Active Directory Authentication.

Always stay in the know

Get notified immediately when a build fails. Continua CI supports multiple notification services including email, IM and XMPP. Setup each developer with notifications the way they like it.

Information at a glance

Check the status of your builds at a glance with Continua CI's build views and metrics. Information included ranges from success/failed ratios, build durations and unit test results.

Forget about testing

Automate testing as part of your build. Continua CI supports several unit testing packages, including NUnit and MSTest. If your code fails your unit tests, you can either stop the build or keep building anyway, it's your call.

Dynamic builds

Incorporate variables, objects and expressions into your build process. Continua CI supports variable and property injection into most build actions.
