Hudson CI (discontinued) vs. Travis CI

Though it has a few setup issues, once you are done with setup it works like charm so one time setup issues won't bother. Reporting, version tracking, debugging everything is helpful and more clear and it reduces effort, in our scenario our QA team integrated their script with Hudson so that after every release it will get triggered automatically and developers will know if there is any major issue.

TravisCI is suited for workflows involving typical software development but unfortunately I think the software needs more improvement to be up to date with current development systems and TravisCI hasn't been improving much in that space in terms of integrations.

Incentivized

• Oracle Hudson UI provides a simple setup and integration with SVN and other version control tools.
• The user control provides various operations to users through which it's easy to control the CI deployment process.
• It handles Performance testing and Automation testing, provides and accepts user interaction. Allows them to schedule jobs

Incentivized

• It's simple and easy to get started (it can detect the language being used based on build configuration files like a Maven pom.xml).
• It's free (as in beer) for open source projects.
• It has a responsive staff (you can file issues on GitHub to ask for new languages or packages to be supported, and the turnaround time isn't too bad for the free offering).
• The user interface is beautiful and easy-to-use, including features like live-tailing in-progress builds.
• It supports specifying private environment variables and encrypted credentials, so that you can safely automate deployments (for example, pushing built docker images to DockerHub).

Incentivized

• The setup needs to be more user friendly, currently for first time users CI doesn't provide more guidelines.
• JMeter tool can be integrated but it's not easy, user has to follow and do research before setup. A simpler way would help make the process more user friendly.
• Selenium tool like JMeter can be integrated, if its Webservice it's easy but for UI automation integration not enough information is provided.

Incentivized

• Travis CI is a fairly mature platform now, and most, if not all of the common complaints have been improved. This includes documentation and logs with color support.

TravisCI hasn't had much changes made to its software and has thus fallen behind compared to many other CI/CD applications out there. I can only give it a 5 because it does what it is supposed to do but lacks product innovation.

Incentivized

After the private equity firm had bought this company the innovation and support has really gone downhill a lot. I am not a fan that they have gutted the software trying to make money from it and put innovation and product development second.

Incentivized

Oracle CI in terms of setup lags behind all above products, but then its use is also limited to release management so we can't really compare. Majority of organizations have dedicated team to help with CI Process so they take care of managing all jobs and setup.

Incentivized

Jenkins is probably the leading choice for automation and has loads of features and a large community behind it, but it can be overkill for many projects. It also has more of a web 1.0 look and interface. CircleCI is another similar big competitor, but cannot compete with Travis CI's free account [in my opinion].

Incentivized

• Provides an easy way to deployment process
• Centralizes control for all release management
• Secured process, a user can only check errors and release management can take control of deployment. User roles are provided.

Incentivized

• It saves you in infrastructure and setup costs, since running a server and installing and maintaining Jenkins can be a hassle.
