Xinc - Continous Integration for PHP

Well it looks as though someone has created the final piece in the iigsaw for those looking to develop a continous integration process using PHP technologies.

Whilst looking at CruiseControl the other day, I thought to myself why isn’t there a tool to do this. Looks as though I’ve not been reading the right blogs as Xinc totally passed me by.

Xinc is not Cruisecontrol - it is a continuous integration tool written in php, for php projects. It makes extensive use of the phing build tool.

For those of you like myself, who have SVN, Phing and PHP Unit all working together to create an automated build process this should be the last piece in the jigsaw enabling automated testing of your application when new code is checked in to SVN.

As yet I’ve only installed Xinc on our development server, I’m a bit short on time to have done much more with it as yet. Hopefully I’ll be able to report in a little more depth in the coming weeks.
