Tool and Python Apps #
Python-based continuous integration(CI) testing framework github I collected notes and references in Evernote with tag:buildbot
#
Popular well maintained, flexibility.
My experience with it #
At KFUPM it was used as CI/CD framework with Ansible as IaC.
CI/CD implemented was not fully automatic: with CI no tests were run when new code is added to the repository. Code is reviewed manually after approval and merge to production branch, buildbot will run ansible playbooks to deploy the code to production - the CD(Delivery) part.
