"Kohsuke Kawaguchi, one of the main developers of Jenkins and
the founder of Hudson, the CI server from which Jenkins was forked,
says all software companies should implement a tool like Jenkins.
'It frees up developers from doing things machines can do, so
developers can working on more fun stuff, and it increases
productivity. It collects information from the problems and
regressions so that developers can just act on them. It also
increases the transparency of the software development, making it
easier for people related to the project, such as managers,
developers of the other components who depend on it, QA people,
operations people, and so on, to get insights on the project
without bothering the developers, and without causing any
additional overhead. Improved transparency also means improved
predictability.'"
