Questions tagged [build-server]

Build sever is interchangeably used for the machine that is used to compile the application code at a scheduled time and the CI Tools such as Cruise Control, Teamcity etc.

Build server is typically used for the machine used to compile the source code at a scheduled time. This is different from the developer's machine since this is a controlled environment and is only supposed to have the pre-requisites required for compilation.

With the evolution of Continuous Integration, Build Server is also interchangeably used for the CI Applications such as Teamcity, Cruise Control, Jenkins or Bamboo. These applications take care of executing the builds and also a number of other activities such as unit test execution, deployment, various other quality checks on the code and report them in a nice presentable manner.
