Jenkins For Mac

Jenkins is an open source continuous integration server monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron.

Built with Java, Jenkins provides over 300 plugins to support building and testing virtually any project.

Among those things, current Jenkins focuses on the following two jobs: · Building/testing software projects continuously, just like CruiseControl or DamageControl. In a nutshell, Jenkins provides an easy-to-use so-called continuous integration system, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project, and making it easier for users to obtain a fresh build. The automated, continuous build increases the productivity. · Monitoring executions of externally-run jobs, such as cron jobs and procmail jobs, even those that are run on a remote machine. For example, with cron, all you receive is regular e-mails that capture the output, and it is up to you to look at them diligently and notice when it broke. Jenkins keeps those outputs and makes it easy for you to notice when something is wrong
