Jenkins

Easily configured continuous integration software for developers

Jenkins is a continuous integration (CI) software that aims to make developers’ lives easier by monitoring repeated tasks; it follows tasks like cron jobs (pre-scheduled automated tasks), notifying developers of the results with regular emails. Jenkins is easily installed with a few simple commands and is simple to configure through its web interface (though users have the option to do a more detailed XML customization). Developers can also monitor the results of their tasks via RSS feed, email, or instant message notifications, so that they can respond to problems in real time.
