Hi all.
 
Our software group are starting to go agile and I've been asked to look
in to continuous integration solutions.
 
Continuous Integration is a set of software applications which monitor a
source code repository and when source is updated automatically checks
it out and builds it, some also integrate test systems.
 
Does any one have any experience of using any CIs.
 
What we're trying to find is a CI which can sit on a server and call in
to virtual machines to perform the build process. Currently we build on
Windows and Linux so a cross platform solution is needed. We use
subversion as our source control system so which ever solution we come
up with will need to play nicely with it. We'd also like some sort of
web front end to monitor the build.
 
Currently I'm trying CruiseControl.rb and am less than impressed.
 
Any thoughts, experiences or comments welcome.
Thanks.
Nick.
