Ketan's Musings

From the article here by Roy.

Agile methodology intensely focuses on best practices such as iterative delivery, test-driven development, continuous integration, and agile testing which enables the developer to deliver high quality applications with unprecedented visibility of progress to customers.

After Pune and Bangalore, here’s another group of people from the ThoughtWorks Pune office working really hard, again.

Sidu has written a good post on why you ought to be attending the ThoughtWorks Master Class Series 2007.

Registrations for the Bangalore event have already come to a close down. We’re already sending invites for the Pune event. There’s still some invites left for the Pune event, and you can just about make it if you register quick.

Akshay and me have been pairing since a couple of days to hack together a java version of CCTray written using SWT. This version of CCTray can connect to CCNET and cc.rb.

A lot of folks use *nix and the existing CCTray is not much help.

If you wish to use this pre-alpha release, feel free to write back. It’s not all that configurable, so you have been warned

Oh, yes, BTW this release depends on issue #899 of CCNet dashboard, and issue #118 of CC.rb. You can vote for these issues to be resolved to see CCTray in Java released a bit earlier.

Finally a screenshot for those really interested.

ThoughtWorks today announced a Continuous Integration tool, CruiseControl.rb. CruiseControl.rb is the Ruby version of CruiseControl, called CruiseControl.rb

The motto of CC.rb reads:

easy to install, pleasant to use and simple to hack

What kind of good stuff does that mean?

• download and get building in 5-10 minutes (maybe 15 if you stop to read the manual)
• little to no configuration (seriously, just tell it your svn url)
• works for ruby, java, dotnet … anything that you can invoke from the command line
• aesthetic beauty (not bad for a build tool)
