| Green Across the Board |

I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few months getting all of our builds in proper working order, and even though we’ve been green across the board for awhile now, I never get tired of seeing this:

This will probably come as a shock to some people, but there was a time when 23 of these 24 builds didn’t exist. That’s right, out of all the builds we have now, only the main Community Server build was properly maintained. Every other build was either permanently broken or wasn’t created in the first place, and when something like an add-on needed built and packaged, it was performed on someone’s machine.
Now, in the matter of full disclosure, all of this green only tells part of the truth. Currently none of our builds run any tests (blasphemy!), except for the functional tests build you see above (which uses Selenium as Jim H previously talked about). At some point we’d like to make that happen, but believe me when I say that getting us to this point was a huge win.
Automation FTW!
