Cruise allows you to model your develop, deploy, test and release process so that everybody has visibility into and control over the process. Cruise's unique and revolutionary deployment pipelines let your team self-service builds into your environments, lock them down so only the people you specify have access to them, and records who performed which deployment.
Pipelines are grid-enabled, so you can split a stage into many jobs which get run simultaneously on your build grid. Split your test suites into multiple jobs, or run them on multiple environments, and have Cruise roll up the results. If your deployments require running tasks on multiple servers, you can do that too.
Cruise's build grid is zero configuration. Just install Cruise Agent on a computer and tell it the hostname of Cruise Server and it will start picking up jobs and doing work, checking out code if necessary. You can even re-run old jobs or re-deploy old builds -- Cruise Agent will automatically update your sandbox to the correct revision.
Get your evaluation copy here. The evaluation copy lasts for one month, after which you can downgrade to the 2 agent free edition or buy an edition with more agents.
How many agents do I need? That depends how many jobs you want to run simultaneously. This is determined by how large your team is and how complex your project is. The evaluation edition comes licensed for six agents -- give it a try and see how it works for you.
Source control: Cruise supports Subversion, and Mercurial. Git and Perforce support will be out in 1.1, due later this month. Vault and Microsoft Team Foundation Server support are coming soon.
Builders: Cruise can run any tool that has a command-line interface. However we provide some extra glue for ant, nant and rake.
Reports: If your tool outputs reports that can be displayed in a web browser, whether plain text or html, Cruise can display them in its dashboard. No merging, xslt or futzing required: just tell Cruise where to find the reports.
