Is everyone baking the same CI cake?
- by Brett Rigby
I can't help but wonder about this whole Continous Integration process and wanted to know what you think about it all.
From my perspective, we're constructing our own 'flavour' of NAnt/Ivy/CruiseControl.Net in-house and can't help but get the feeling that other dev shops are doing exactly the same work, but then everybody is finding out the same problems and pitfalls with it.
I'm not complaining about NAnt, Ivy or CruiseControl at all, as they've been brilliant in helping our team of developers become more sure of the quality of their code, but it just seems strange that these tools are very popular, yet we're all re-inventing the CI-wheel.
Is there a pre-made solution for building .Net applications, using the tools mentioned above, and if so, why aren't we all using them??
