Buildbot vs Testling: 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 Testling? Automatic browser tests on every push. Sign in with your browserling account. free for open source. No sign-up required. Just configure a github webhook.

Buildbot and Testling can be primarily classified as "Continuous Integration" tools.

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, Testling provides the following key features:

• Write tests with a minimal test api that works in both node and browsers.
• Run your tests in node and your local browsers.
• Run tests in mocha for qunit, tdd, bdd, and exports-style tests.

Buildbot and Testling are both open source tools. Buildbot with 4K GitHub stars and 1.37K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Testling with 337 GitHub stars and 47 GitHub forks.
