CruiseControl was a fantastic brand for ThoughtWorks. You can understand why they decided to base the name for their new, commercially licensed Continuous Integration server on the old. That didn’t work out so well. The response to the confusion about the products has been interesting however: ThoughtWorks have renamed and reskinned the product. Out: Cruise. [...]
Last time we talked about the new features in Cruise, and the state of the industry. This time, it’s all the other things Chris and Andy couldn’t fit into 10 minutes: I managed to walk out of there with 2 AA batteries as well. Score.
TW Studios peeps Chris Read and Andy Yates graciously agreed to have a chat with me about Cruise last Friday. We talked about some of the features in Cruise and why they matter, the difference between Cruise and your average development focussed CI server, and shot the breeze about the maturity of our industry: It [...]
Newsflash: there are three versions of CruiseControl. The Java One – which is called CruiseControl, or sometimes CruiseControl.java The .NET One – which is called CruiseControl.NET, or just CruiseControl The Ruby one – CruiseControl.rb, or sometimes just CC.rb.

This is part two of the interview with Jez Humble from ThoughtWorks Studios (part one here). I’m also getting it transcribed; watch this space. JULIAN: Can you tell me about the XML? JEZ: Yeah, that’s… JULIAN: I was looking at Cruise the other day, because I was wanting to change who we are using at [...]
Cruise is the new kid in the block in the Continuous Integration space. So what’s going on? What can we expect next from ThoughtWorks Studios? In this two-part interview I attempt to find out. Part two will be out next Tuesday. Jez Humble is the product manager for Cruise. I’ve known Jez for a long [...]
I told you it was coming. And it’s here. Link Update: Thanks to tha-moose for pointing out the broken link.
