JetBrains improves organization in TeamCity

May 15, 2009 —  "A place for everything, and everything in its place." That is the mantra JetBrains took with an upgrade of its continuous integration and build management suite, improving management capabilities and organizing test groups and build failures.

TeamCity 4.5, released in April, offers the ability to form user groups so that administrators can change roles and notification rules for several users at once. Pavel Sher, TeamCity’s senior software developer, said that in previous versions of TeamCity, an administrator could configure roles per single user only.

“In cases when there were many users, this proved to be hardly manageable,” he said. “In TeamCity 4.5, we introduced groups to shift the focus from per-user operations to batch operations. This greatly simplifies user management.”

Another feature in the new version of TeamCity is the ability to assign responsibility for broken builds. This lets build managers know what tests are broken and who broke them, Sher said. In previous versions, there were no ways to notify the responsible person through TeamCity, but now responsibility is assigned through the user interface.

JetBrains also made new user interface improvements in Team City, one of them being the ability to keep track of tests run in a build.

“TeamCity tries to recognize suites, packages or classes in the passed tests, and to provide useful grouping,” Sher said. “This feature makes it easier to find the suites and packages whose tests are slow, as well as which suites run more tests. If you have several thousands of tests, this can be very handy.”
