Continuous Integration as Transparency Mandate
C.I. is far more then simply providing 'build success' of your code. If your not doing more, your not doing C.I. as expected in 2008 and beyond.
The standard is offering all who might care transparency into your software's current state. This means (as an example) architectural metrics in real-time across qualitative and quantitative metrics. And it's now very easy to achieve yet many are not aware of this fact.
This also includes the visual display of how metrics are changing over time (via the attractive graph format you see here as an example).
Abbreviated Statistical Providers
CCStatistics allows you to rebuild your historical statistics information from all your legacy build results. This is critical if you add a new statistic to measure, as by 'out of the box' it will not import any existing information. This solves that issue when the data (via XPath) is available. CCStatistics will regenerate your infoirmation just as if you always had the metrc defined!
Agilefactor offers a pre-configured CI server to our partners at no charge. To create this 'best case' CI server for .NET we did a lot of work, and CCStatistics (originally developed by Grant Drake) is one we have evolved significantly from his excellent work. We offer this (with more to come) for the benefit of the CC.NET community.
If you are interested in the full CI build server, we offer that at no cost for our business partners across many industries. Due to specific configuration items required for each environment (such as source code provider configuration, etc.) this is not yet an open source code offering. We do plan on offer more utilities however as they become available.
CCStatistics includes a full API itself that can be leveraged and we plan to evolve into a WCF API in the near term.
