Continous Integration tool

I found this tool that looks very interesting. It's called CI Factory and it is open source product for continous integration.

Packages currently bundled with the CI Factory installer:
  • Visual Source Safe
  • Subversion
  • Assembly and product versioning
  • PVCS Tracker
  • .NET Visual Studio 2003/2005 solution compilation
  • Unit Test execution with MbUnit
  • Code Coverage with CoverageEye
  • nDepend
  • Deployment artifact publication
  • Install Shield or VS deployment packages


Independent Packages :

  • Ant
  • VB6Compile
  • LinesOfCode
  • MSTest
  • NCover
  • BackUp
  • Simian
  • Analytics

Listen to what this is about when Jay Flowers is intervjued on Hensel Minuets here. You can get a fast starter with dnrTV here.

The CI Factory uses Visual Studio as a XML editor to edit the argument file for input to nAnt. CI Factory is a code generator to generate the build server code.

Check it out. I looks very interesning and I hope I got some time to check this out some more.
