Travis CI Reviews

This testing and integration service is limited to GitHub users. Private projects require a fee, although there is a generous free trial. To get started, users need to have a GitHub login, a project hosted on GitHub, working project code, and a working build or test script to use Travis CI. When a user runs a build, it clones the user’s GitHub repository, places it into a new environment, and then builds and tests the code through a series of tasks. Travis CI labels the code as “broken” should it fail a task or “passed” if all tasks are cleared. Upon passing, Travis CI deploys the code to a host or web server. Travis CI offers different infrastructure environments, including container-based, pseudo-enabled, or OS X. It can run tests on a variety of platforms and software. Travis CI is also robust in its language support, which includes Android, C, C#, C++, Cloure, Crystal, D, Dart, Erlang, Elixir, F#, Go, Groovy, Haskell, Haxe, Java, Javascript, Julia, Nix, Objective-C, Perl, Perl6, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Smalltalk, Swift, and Visual Basic. Users that have migrated from other services attest that Travis CI is easy to use, scalable, well-documented, and has a strong API to build additional tools. The support for web development is one of its greatest assets. Although some suggest the user interface could be updated, the functionality outweighs those issues.
