Buildbot vs BuildMaster: What are the differences?

What is Buildbot? Python-based continuous integration testing framework. BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure.

What is BuildMaster? An application release automation tool. It is a fully-functional Continuous Integration tool for a variety of platforms allowing your organization to start using CI/CD today, even with legacy applications. It runs automated testing for your applications and notify key team members if those tests fail.

Buildbot and BuildMaster belong to "Continuous Integration" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Buildbot are:

• run builds on a variety of slave platforms
• arbitrary build process: handles projects using C, Python, whatever
• minimal host requirements: Python and Twisted

On the other hand, BuildMaster provides the following key features:

• Static Analysis & Reporting

- Automated UI Tests
