Continuous Integration Cage Fight: Team City
Posted on by Julian SimpsonSecond to last in the talk was Team City, presented by Yegor Yarko of JetBrains.
They’ve done a very good job of the tool and used their position as developers of IntelliJ and Resharper to promote this product very cleverly: so I don’t think I need to do much introduction to the tool. Here’s the notes I managed to scratch down:
- Free for 20 developers and 20 projects
- Enterprise license $3000, more build agents (you get 2 or 3 free) are $300 each
- Configuration is via xml file or web app
- Build agents are secured: you have to grant them access
- Unique feature: Gives failed test feedback before build finishes.
- Unique feature: IDE plugins (IntelliJ, Eclipse, Visual Studio)
- Unique feature: auto commit (it runs your tedious build and then commits to your repo – while you dine)
- It has static code analysis features
- It is very developer friendly
- Unique feature: stop a build [though I think others can do that]
- Very good .NET support
- They might open source some of the plugins
Yegor also did a great job photographing the conference. Link
