Buildbot is a software development continuous integration tool which automates the compile or test cycle required to validate changes to the project code base. It began as a light-weight alternative to the Mozilla project's Tinderbox, and is now used by Python,[6] WebKit,[7] LLVM,[8] Blender,[9] ReactOS,[10] and many other projects.[11]

Implementation

Buildbot is written in Python on top of the Twisted libraries.

SCM support

As of March 2021, in version 2.10.1, Buildbot supports SCM integration with CVS, Subversion, Darcs, Mercurial, Bazaar, Git, Monotone, Repo/Gerrit, Perforce, and BitKeeper.[12]
