Probo expands upon the automated testing functionality of many other CI tools by providing a quality assurance environment where users can manually review the look and feel of changes before committing them.
History
editProbo was initially developed as a tool for internal use by its parent company, Zivtech, to improve upon the offerings of other CI tools.[7][3] Once the founders realized that it filled a gap in the industry, they expanded it into a separate offering as a better way to automate the process, involve clients and project managers in the earliest stages, and reduce the cycle of testing and approval.[3]
Probo (by definition: demonstrate, test, approve)[8] is an open source tool that has been built to work with Drupal,[9] integrates into GitHub and posts statuses of the builds to GitHub PR. The tool itself is written in Node.js and powered by Docker.[4][6][10]
Probo was the first CI tool to provide a quality assurance environment where users can manually review their changes.
Other frameworks
editBased on the original Jenkins for Java, there are now similar tools for other programming frameworks such as:
- Buildbot — a Python system to automate the compile/test cycle to validate code changes.
- Tox — an automation tool providing packaging, testing and deployment of Python software.
- Travis-CI — a distributed CI server which builds tests for open source projects for free.
- Django-Jenkins — Django (Python) Web Framework integration with Jenkins.[11]
