Continuous Integration
You can think of continuous integration as another member of your team.
- Will detect when there’s updated source code in your repository.
- Will check out the changes, rebuild.
- Will report to team whether or not the build was successful (including results of tests).

Q: Say you have CruiseControl running, whats the switching time?
A: Hopefully very little.
Q: Do you support multiple build configurations? Like building against different versions of ruby. Do you support multiple branches?
A: No, we don’t support multiple build configs. You can work around with multiple projects. We don’t support multiple branches in cvs but do in svn.
