Local Build Server On Desktop

开发者_JS百科I'm looking for a local build server that I can install on my machine (Windows 7) and it will then every x minutes compile my solution, run all unit tests and notify me if the build fails or a unit test fail.

I'd suggest CruiseControl.Net as can be found here.

Most build servers like CruiseControl.Net or TeamCity are built to run on a separate machine. That doesn't mean you can't run them locally

You might also want to look at nAnt or MSBuild to script your build and unit-tests (you'll have to do this with cc.net and teamcity anyway) and then periodically run it from a powershell script.

Hudson build server: hudson-ci.org

It has a great UI that allows most configuration to be done easily. It has a ton of plugins that can be installed and configured, also through the UI.

Finally, it has the Chuck Norris plugin. How can you NOT use it? ;-)
