Awesome tool for continues integration system I ever seen !!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Continua CI is [the most] awesome tool I have ever seen for maintaining a continuous integration system of a product based company. I have been using this tool for my client's product since around last year. This is a very useful tool which automatically creates builds of our products, deploys it on our server and starts the execution of automated test cases. It reduced very much our efforts in creating, deploying and testing builds manually. Our client is a big US based MNC company and their entire organization is using this tool (including my project).
Pros
- First thing is this tool is scalable which is the biggest advantage of this tool. It won't take much time in setup and making it ready. It has a very good user interface.
- This tool has almost every source code repository support like Git, SVN, Microsoft Foundation Server etc. Moreover, it has very good support for various build tools like Visual Studio, MSBuild etc., which makes it even batter.
- We can trigger multiple builds at a time with the Premier subscription.
- It allows users to apply many deep levels of configurations which make the whole system even easier.
Cons
- Mostly I don't have much more recommendation for improvement because this tool provides almost everything which would be required in any continuous integration system. But still I would suggest improvement in the reporting system. The build report is a field where they can make improvement by adding more information if they want.
Likelihood to Recommend
Mostly it is very suitable for any product based company who wants to add a CI system for their products. This tool is perfectly suitable for a company which releases builds very frequently. By using this tool they can reduce a tremendous amount of manual effort.
If company's budget is not high and if they can not afford the premium plan then this tool won't be suitable for them because the basic version of this tool won't provide much functionality.
