How to develop a Nightly Builder


I was told to create a tool like a Nightly Builder for a JUnit project. It's a client-server project with oracle database.The tests are based on QTP. Also there is a test interface written on C#. The tester can click on the interface to choose which tests to run and get a report from each test. So I have to make this procedure automated. So what tools should I use? Thanks in advance Best regards


Solution

  • Have you considered using CruiseControl or like tool? We use this at my work and it was easy to get up and running with Junit and/or TestNG. Other tools to consider are buildbot, continuum, hudson, etc. (Go to google and type "cruisecontrol vs" and see a bunch of other auto builder tools.) Then see how they handle nightly builds.... here's a reference for CruiseControl.
