Hi Does anybody know a good and powerful (yet simple of course) solution to automatically run rails test (unit and functional) let’s say every night? I’ve stumbled upon ‘CruiseControl’ (http:// [cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/](http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/)) and think this tool might do the job. Any better ideas? Cheers, phibo ---

I’ve used cruisecontrol.rb ([http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com/](http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com/)), but there are others. The magic term to google for is continuous integration (and you probably want to run closer to every commit rather than every night) Fred
