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 at Mozilla, Chromium, WebKit and many other projects.[4][5]
Buildbot is written in Python on top of the Twisted libraries.
As of March 2013, in version 0.8.7p1, Buildbot supports SCM integration with CVS, Bazaar, Darcs, Subversion, Perforce, Mercurial, Git, Monotone, Repo, and BitKeeper.[6]
