Aims of This Chapter

CruiseControl is relatively simple to initially set up. However, it can be configured in a number of ways, depending on the requirements of your build process. This chapter contains a set of best practices that can be implemented for different build environments. After reading this chapter, you will be able to

• Install and configure the CruiseControl Build Results web.

• Understand how to use CruiseControl's capabilities to better integrate with ClearCase.

• Understand how best to configure the CruiseControl build schedule to meet the needs of your projects.

• Understand how best to configure CruiseControl to publish the results of a build.

This chapter assumes that you are familiar with the basic concepts of CruiseControl, as discussed in Chapter 6, "Running Your Build Scripts."
