What tools do you use for automating builds?

Hi all Build Engineers,
what systems do you use for automating builds - do you use your own tools, or some opensource project?
If it is something public, which one it is, and what were the reasons to chose it?
We are thinking about using the Hudson system (http://hudson.dev.java.net/) for our developers, but would like to hear from other RE groups about their experiences too.
Thanks,
Karel

Tinderbox is another build monitoring tool. It does not show detailed steps of a build cycle. It only shows the final result : success or failed. But it can display build output for multiple platforms on the same page.
This is how the tinderbox build grid will look --> http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=SeaMonkey
Detail Info -->
http://www.mozilla.org/tinderbox.html
Tinderbox can be connected to Bonsai -->
It is a tool that shows you who checked in what, lets you perform queries on the contents of a CVS archive; get a list of checkins, see what checkins have been made by a whom, or on a given CVS branch, or in a particular time period.

  • Which tool do you use for load testing?

    Which tool do you use for load testing for J2EE application?

    hi,
    i use jmeter for without issues..
    first make sure that the system from where you are doing load testing is in the same lan(without firewall) to that of server. Here you are testing the capacity of server and not the network bandwith.
    So assuming very good network connection what is the servers performance level...
    If u have to decide which tool is decent enough to load testing,
    i would suggest go for jmeter. its reliable and i have used it without problems.
    Here is my quick tutorial for jemeter which i made for my teams reference.
    REFERENCE
         For Getting Started refer to any tutorial for Jmeter
         You can refer to introduction on
              http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/
    RUNNING LOAD TEST
         Extract jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4.zip in c:
         install jdk-1_5_0_12-windows-i586-p.exe
         Run C:\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4\bin\jmeter.bat
         In Test Plan add Thread Group
         Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Sampler->HTTP Request
         Select HTTP Request added fill details
              Serverip:www.xyz.com
              Port:80
              Path:/xyz-webapp/index.jsp
              Use KeepAlive: Checked
              Retrive All Embeded images from HTML: Checked(For geting images inside html)
         Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Graph Results
         Click on Thread Group Fill details
              No of Threads:3(This means no of simultaneous users)
              Ramp Up Period:1(3 Request will be made in 1 second period)
              Loop Count:5(Above process should be repeated how many times)
         Save TestPlan
         Run -> Clear All
         Run -> Start
              Click on Graph Results for Output
         Try adding different listener in Thread Group
              Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Summary Report
         Listeners coud be added at thread group level or HTTP Request Level
    RECORDING A TEST.
         Add a HTTP proxy server in workbench by right clicking on it and selecting Add->Non test Element->HTTP Proxy Server.
         In Test Plan Add Thread Group
         In HTTP proxy server select Target Controller as Test Plan > Thread Group.
         Go to Internet Explorer and go to internet settings and set proxy server as localhost and the port
              which is configured in Jmeter proxy server.Save Settings.
         In Jeter proxy server start by Clicking on Start button in the HTTP Proxy Server Flap.
         In browser navigate the application which you want to test.
         The nodes will be added in the Thread Group.
         Once Navigation is done stop the proxy server and save the test plan from file menu.
    LOGGING INTO APPLICATION.
         When we have to login into system and then navigate the system
              we need a cookie to be tracked after login. This could be achieved
              simply by Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cooie Manager.
         After adding the HTTP Cooie Manager simply run the test.
    LOOPING COUNTER.
         When a request is made multiple parameter is sent to server.
         Parameters are sent from the HTTP Request node added in the Thread Group
              in "Send Parameter with the request" table.
         If we run the loop count 10 times the parameters will be sent same in every request.
         If you have to send parameters like user1,user2,user3,user4....
              then add -> Pre processor -> Counter.
         Put start as 1 and and Maximum as 10 or whatever required.
         Put Referene name as iCtr or whatever.
         In the "Send Parameter with the request" in value column put user${iCtr}

  • What thrid party tools are you using for backup compression?

    I have a few SQL Server 2008 standard edition instances and I'm curious to what third party tools people are using for backup compression. I know upgrading to enterprise edition or  SQL Server 2008R2 or above will give me that compression but I do not
    have that option right now. I'm familiar with Idera, Red gate and Litespeed and I just want to know what else is out there.
    Thank you in Advance.

    There are many third party tools.

  • What application are you using for student collaboration?

    The only part that is missing from iTunes University is real time student collaboration. What application are you using to bridge the gap? Thanks, Ed

    Yeah, I'm not sure I know what you mean either. 
    Q:  If you're asking which server-side code to use on Windows IIs Servers?
    A:  ASP or ASP.net and MSSql.  Since Microsoft built these languages, you would get the best support from MS Expression.
    If you're asking for software that helps you write code, you'll need to be more specific about which code you want to write and for what purpose.

  • HT4341 from the apple travel adapter kit what adapter do you use for thailand

    from the apple travel adapter kit what adapter do i use for thailand

    I've used Apple a few times in the past for 4x6s (with iPhoto) and was really happy with the quality. There are other things about the service that frustrate me though. The shipping time was all over the place. Sometimes it would only take a week or two, other times over a month. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Order Prints to work for iPhoto or Aperture anymore, so I'm looking for an alternative as well. Something that has an Aperture plug-in would be extra cool, if that exists...
    In the meantime, I've just been printing at Wal-Mart or the local camera shop (when they have a sale). The quality isn't as good -- less definition in the prints -- but the order is always ready to pick-up within a couple of hours at the most (which beats getting no prints at all through Apple's service). And the nice thing is, the pictures are printed and boxed in the order they're uploaded. None of this "we print the smallest files first, as they download" silliness from Apple that causes you to have to sort all of your photos again while referencing the images on your computer if you want to put them in chronological order. Does Apple really expect me to believe their printers are just waiting to print my order the split second each image is downloaded? There's no staging process involved whatsoever? Give me a break. I love Apple, but things like this are so backwards from the whole "it just works" mantra that they love to use. Sorry for the rant! I'm a little frustrated with Apple's printing services at the moment (as I'm sure you can tell).
    Anyway, you can always give your local Wal-mart a shot. Just do a small order and see how it turns out.

  • What Classes do you use for developing Database Applications

    Hi ! (sorry for my bad english)
    I develop now an application for production planning and I use an informix database-server. I have no problems with the database an the connection. I,m a database expert, but I,m a newcommer in java. What classes do you use to develop a database application ? (specially Table Handling) I tried it with JTable and AbstractTableModel. Are there better possibilities ?
    JdbTable OR
    JTable with DBTableModel OR
    JTable with DBTableModel and DataSet
    I know that this is a big question, but some little Informations can help me. (I develop with JBuilder Proffessional)
    Thank you for your help.
    Wolfgang

    No - the classes you have described (AbstractTableModel etc) are Swing classes - that is, they are Models in the MVC GUI architecture. Database-related stuff (SQL at any rate) is contained in the packages java.sql and javax.sql - The latter is part of the Enterprise addition. You would also need to purchase a database driver (or use the sun one, which is something like com.sun.odbc.jdbc.Driver or whatever). The driver supplies you with connections to the database (java.sql.Connection).
    Alternatively, you may be deploying code in a J2EE AppServer (eg. WebLogic, WebSphere etc) in which case you can use the JNDI to get a javax.sql.DataSource object (by setting one up in the AppServer and doing a lookup on it) and use this to get database Connections.
      Class c = Class.forName("com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver");
      SybDriver sybDriver = (SybDriver) c.newInstance();
      java.sql.DriverManager.registerDriver((Driver) sybDriver);
      //then use Driver object to get hold of a Connection
      //or alternatively using DataSources
      InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
      DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/MyDriver");
      Connection conn = null;
      try{
        Connection conn = ds.getConnection("login", "password");
        Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from MY_TABLE");
        while (rs.next()) {
          //columns are enumerated 1...n
          String s = rs.getString(1);
          //or can get by Col Name
          String str = rs.getString("name_col");
      } finally {
        conn.close();
      }Anyway, I hope this helps - you'll probably need to get a book on it (Java Enterprise by O'Reilly is a good one)

  • What tool do you use

    Hi,
    I have a warehouse environment with planing data. Partitioned tables by range ( date) mainly.
    Size is in > 1 - 6 TB. ( 9R2 and 10gR2 on AIX)
    Using GControl only.
    I'm wondering what could be the way to create subsets of the production database, for test purposes?
    Are there any effective 3-rd party tools/suites or native Oracle functionality?
    What one should look into eventual 3-rd party tools?
    What do you use?
    Thx,

    The idea of using a different schema is just so that you can keep the same table_names and schema in the target database for the selected data. You would be able to use a full export and import of the special schema that holds all of the data of interest.
    Instead of CTAS you can use CREATE DDL followed by INSERT SELECT statements for your partitioned tables.
    There is not built-in feature to quickly do what you want without serious study to understand the data relationships and target the data in question. The query= on an export might be useful but extracting the data into holding tables is probably the better route where the number of objects is not one or two and the relationships vary especially if some of the relationships are not defined to the database.

  • IE8 Testing - what tool are you using?

    I used to use IETester for testing in this browser. What tool is recommended now?

    https://saucelabs.com/ if you dont have the hardware to virtualise.
    Personally i just run everything in in VMWare from XP-windows8 /android/mac so I can see how each browser handles sites.
    I found that F12 tools isn't as acurate as just loading them into the browser, it seems to be far more forgiving than it should be.

  • What strategy do you use for development EJB-JSP ?

    Hi all,
    I'd like to share opinion about development phase.
    In particular what is the best strategy for development
    of JSP-EJB applications?
    1. You keep JSP files unpacked under your Context and copy EJB interfaces in the /classes directory
    Pro: quick web development, no packing/unpacking of files
    Contros: proliferation of EJB interfaces both on Web side and on the EJB side
    2. keep JSP files and EJB interfaces into an .ear file and drop the ear file in the deploy directory for every modification.
    Pro: compact distribution of application, no need to keep duplicate copies of EJB interfaces
    Contros: packing/unpacking of ear/war files needed for every single modification of jsp/ejb
    What do you think?
    Thanks
    Francesco

    I certainly package the stuff in an EAR file - this EAR file contains the WAR file with my JSP/Servlet/Struts code & the required EJB interfaces. As well as the WAR file, the EAR file contains a JAR for the bean implementation. I want to correctly split this up in case I end up using a seperate EJB and Servlet container - my current seperation doesn't really allow for this at the moment. I guess this would involve building:
    1.) app-common.jar - Bean interfaces, utils, data transfer classes etc
    2.) webapp.war - Front end client code including JSP's, Servlets, Struts code etc
    3.) ejb.jar - The bean implementation
    Many containers only support deployment using an EAR file - supporting deployment of unpacked structures is not a requirement in the J2EE spec and so it will depend on whether or not. JBoss 3.0 hot deployment is fairly good so getting ant to stick my EAR file in the deploy directory after each build is normally not much bother (only the occasional full restart)
