Buildbot

Buildbot is a handy tool for anyone working with Python. Just having good programming skills isn't always enough to make sure your projects run smoothly. Testing is super important in development, and there are some modern ways to get computers to check how well features work in your current build. That's where Buildbot comes into play, especially for automated testing!

Understanding Buildbot's Components

The first thing you should know about Buildbot is that it has two main parts: the Master and the Worker module. The Master is like the boss; it reads and builds the instructions needed for a test scenario. Meanwhile, the Worker does all the hard work by actually running each step of the script.

Automated Testing with Python

This tool is made specifically for the Python IDE, which means you'll need it on your computer to use Buildbot. Its main job? To automate tests for your custom Python projects! It supports different build processes and gives you lots of options to customize your setup.

Tracking Metrics Easily

When you use the code libraries available in Buildbot, you can easily keep track of metrics like lint checks, image sizes, warning counts, compile times, and more! It even generates various status reports based on what happens during testing. Plus, if you're behind a NAT firewall, you can still use a Buildbot Worker module and send data back to the Master without any hassle.
