有個項目使用了CruiseControl.NET（以下簡稱CC.NET）作為持續集成工具，周末抽空研究了一下，發現這款由ThoughtWorks貢獻的開源工具功能非常強大，主要體現在下面三個方面：
1）靈活、高可配置性，如：多重組合條件觸發、多任務隊列策略；
2）兼容目前幾乎所有的流行SCM工具，使得多種異構系統能夠由CruiseControl.NET統一監控和管理；
3）完善的使用文檔，使上手和維護變得容易；
而該項目引以自豪的代碼check in觸發構建的功能通過CC.NET也很容易實現。之前使用過Hudson，該系統采用主從式架構，使用者通過網頁讓Master控制Slave動作，由于Master由別的部門管理，出問題后需要聯系相關人解決，會有一定的處理延遲，而且安裝在構建機上的Slave服務經常崩潰。而CC.NET直接安裝在構建機上，配置IIS后可通過網頁直接訪問，操作維護都較前者容易。由于之前的構建腳本是用VisualBuild實現的，所以不可能再花時間用CC.NET再寫一遍。而通過實驗得知，其實CC.NET能夠以ExecutableTask的形式很好地與VisualBuild集成，目前每小時定時構建、NightBuild和構建成功后觸發的自動測試都已經放到了CC.NET上了。
