TeamCity V6.5 introduces failing test muting

Mute some of the failing tests so they wouldn't affect build status, allowing you to significantly reduce cluttering.
June 2, 2011
Feature Release

TeamCity is a server-based Web application that allows Java and .NET development teams to continuously integrate changes to the code base, frequently run distributed builds and tests, check and improve code quality, all the while making efficient progress toward successful project completion. TeamCity includes many productivity plugins for IntelliJ IDEA, Microsoft Visual Studio and Eclipse, which improves team collaboration without breaking the established practices, by separating creative work from routine tasks. TeamCity automates over 600 Java code inspections, code coverage and duplicates search. TeamCity allows to administer build infrastructures of literally any size from a central Web interface.

Updates in V6.5

  • Muting of failed tests
    TeamCity introduces new means to mute some of the failing tests so they wouldn't affect build status, allowing to significantly reduce cluttering of the build information flow.
  • Tests grouping
    Grouping tests by package is an essential feature for faster problem investigation. Tests can now be grouped in TeamCity on the build results page, current problems page, my changes page and so on.
  • Remote Agent Installation
    TeamCity 6.5 provides a new, experimental way to remotely install build agents on the machines in your network, or in the cloud.
  • Restyled web interface
    TeamCity 6.5 introduces new, restyled web interface - more lightweight, more modern looking and much more convenient.
  • Personal Builds on branches for Git and Mercurial
    TeamCity 6.5 provides a more natural way to start Personal Builds on server with distributed version controls.
  • Parametrized Version Control System roots
    VCS roots are collections of VSC settings used by TeamCity to obtain the source files for your builds. VCS roots do often get shared among different projects and build configurations.

About JetBrains

JetBrains have a passion for making people more productive through smart software solutions that help them focus more on what they really want to accomplish, and less on mundane, repetitive "computer busy work". As veteran Java developers, they felt bogged down by even the best tools they could find back in 2000. So they set out to build something better. From those first efforts came IntelliJ IDEA, which has been consistently honored with the industry's top awards. That's exciting of course, but what's even better is that Java developers the world over continue say that IntelliJ IDEA is simply the best and the most innovative IDE they have ever used. Its unprecedented refactoring support, intelligent coding assistance, and overall usability have helped thousands of developers to shed much of the traditional drudgery of coding, improve their productivity and code quality, and enjoy the craft of programming more.
