Continua CI
What Continua CI is
Continua CI detects source changes, checks them against business logic set by users, and runs builds automatically. Its workflow editor supports try/catch statements, loops, and conditional statements. Builds can start on a schedule, after a commit or check-in, or when another build completes; deployments can run manually or automatically. The feature page lists Subversion, Team Foundation Server, and Git repositories, plus FinalBuilder and MSBuild build runners. Builds can be distributed across agents, and users, roles, and groups can be linked to Active Directory authentication. Notifications include email, instant messaging, and XMPP. The product is self-hosted, with web and Windows platforms. Without a license key, builds run only on the Continua CI server, with one build at a time. The free Solo plan costs nothing; paid plans start with Add a Build at $199, paid once. The download page offers 64-bit server and agent installers and a 32-bit agent installer.
