Buildbot
Python-based continuous integration testing framework
Buildbot is an open-source framework for automating software build, test, and release processes. At its core, Buildbot is a job scheduling system: it queues jobs, executes the jobs when the required resources are available, and reports the results. Your Buildbot installation has one or more masters and a collection of workers. The masters monitor source-code repositories for changes, coordinate the activities of the workers, and report results to users and developers. Workers run on a variety of operating systems. You configure Buildbot by providing a Python configuration script to the master. This script can be very simple, configuring built-in components, but the full expressive power of Python is available. This allows dynamic generation of configuration, customized components, and anything else you can devise. The framework itself is implemented in Twisted Python, and compatible with all major operating systems. -

Jenkins Docker
Docker jenkins repo
The Jenkins Continuous Integration and Delivery server available on Docker Hub. The leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project. If you bind mount in a volume, you can simply back up that directory (which is jenkins_home) at any time. This is highly recommended. Treat the jenkins_home directory as you would a database, in Docker you would generally put a database on a volume. If your volume is inside a container, you can use a Docker command to extract the data, or other options to find where the volume data is. Note that some symlinks on some OSes may be converted to copies (this can confuse jenkins with lastStableBuild links etc). You can define the number of executors on the Jenkins built-in node using a groovy script. By default it is set to 2 executors, but you can extend the image and change it to your desired number of executors. -

While you’re in the research phase, and want to validate your data, find potential methodological problems, and/or validate your model and evaluate it. To run a specific single check, all you need to do is import it and then to run it with the required (check-dependent) input parameters. More details about the existing checks and the parameters they can receive can be found in our API Reference. An ordered collection of checks, that can have conditions added to them. The Suite enables displaying a concluding report for all of the Checks that ran. -
13
Jest Puppeteer
Run your tests using Jest & Puppeteer
Most continuous integration platforms limit the number of threads one can use. If you have more than one test suite running puppeteer chances are that your test will timeout. This is because jest will try to run puppeteer in parallel and the CI platform won't be able to handle all the parallel jobs in time. A fix to this is to run your test serially when in a CI environment. Users have discovered that running test serially in such environments can render up to 50% of performance gains. Writing integration test can be done using Puppeteer API but it can be complicated and hard because API is not designed for testing. Debugging tests can be hard sometimes and it is very useful to be able to pause tests in order to inspect the browser. Jest Puppeteer exposes a method jestPuppeteer.debug() that suspends test execution and gives you the opportunity to see what's going on in the browser. -
14
Act
Run your GitHub Actions locally
When you run Act it reads in your GitHub Actions and determines the set of actions that need to be run. It uses the Docker API to either pull or build the necessary images, as defined in your workflow files, and finally determines the execution path based on the dependencies that were defined. Once it has the execution path, it then uses the Docker API to run containers for each action based on the images prepared earlier. The environment variables and filesystem are all configured to match what GitHub provides. -

Concourse is designed to be expressive, versatile, and safe, remaining intuitive as the complexity of your project grows. A Concourse pipeline is like a distributed, continuous Makefile. Each job has a build plan declaring the job's input resources and what to run with them when they change. Your pipeline is then visualized in the web UI, taking only one click to get from a failed job to seeing why it failed. The visualization provides a "gut check" feedback loop: if it looks wrong, it probably is wrong. Jobs can depend on other jobs by configuring passed constraints. The resulting chain of jobs and resources is a dependency graph that continuously pushes your project forward, from source code to production. -

bors-ng
A merge bot for GitHub Pull Requests
bors-ng is a GitHub merge bot that enforces an “evergreen” main branch by queueing approved pull requests, testing them together on a staging branch, and only advancing main with the exact, passing commit set. Instead of maintainers repeatedly rebasing and merging one PR at a time, bors-ng batches r+-ed PRs, triggers your existing CI (e.g., GitHub Actions), and merges automatically when the batch is green. If a batch fails, it bisects the batch into smaller runs to isolate the culprit, landing the good PRs and kicking only the failing one(s) back for fixes. The bot is implemented as a GitHub App and works alongside—rather than replacing—your CI by reporting commit statuses/checks and acting on PR comments like bors r+ or bors try. It provides a dashboard to watch queue progress, uses separate staging/trying branches for merge/test cycles, and supports both public GitHub and GitHub Enterprise endpoints. -

Open Source CI/CD Tools Guide
Open source CI/CD tools are software solutions that enable organizations to automate the processes of building, testing and deploying applications. They are designed to expedite the release of new products or services, allowing teams to move faster and improve their time-to-market agility. Commonly used in DevOps environments, open source CI/CD tools can help reduce manual errors and streamline the build, test and deployment process for development teams.
These open source automated environment management tools allow for continuous integration (CI), which automates the process of merging code branches back into a main branch through various stages such as unit tests, static code analysis and version control. Continuous delivery (CD) is an automated deployment workflow that eliminates manual steps in the deployment process. This allows developers to focus on developing features instead of managing deployments. As part of CD, automated testing ensures all changes don’t break existing features or introduce bugs into a production environment.
Examples of popular open source CI/CD tools include Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, TravisCI and CircleCI. Each platform offers different advantages when it comes to configuring pipelines or delivering fast results with minimal effort from a team’s perspective; however they all share some common characteristics such as cloud management capabilities for managing resources (e.g., Infrastructure as Code) via scripting languages (such as Ruby). In addition, platforms typically have APIs that allow users to integrate with other systems like databases or external webhooks for more advanced automation scenarios such as triggering builds based on certain events from third party services. Finally these types of open source platforms may also provide additional security benefits by leveraging technologies like containerization which ensure applications are securely sandboxed away from any potential attack vectors outside your network infrastructure enabling teams to confidently build & deploy without worrying about data breaches etc
