external project-build or -verification process

[jwt]

An integration of an external-build (or -verification, or unit-testing, …) process would be very nice. This could be: 1) 'sourcing' external (build-, test- etc.)results into Trac as a view-module via some standard trac-file-format (trac-tags in external files like {{trac: build-number}} {{trac: component}} 2) triggering ANT-scripts or Unit-Tests when setting tickets to "fixed" status

Maybe a generic Unit-Test module makes most sense in the overall concept of trac. Having Unit-Tests automatically executed and their results reported in the Wiki could further improve project quality

this is related to Ticket #505

Damage Control (ThoughtWorks new continuous integration program) with Trac integration would get close to this:

I've put a request into Damage Control's (damagecontrol.codehaus.org) bug tracker asking for them to support trac's source code browser.

By putting a link to the current build status image from DamageControl in the Trac wiki you would have a fairly neat way of cross-referencing the two.

Some recent activity in that area:

• ​Introducing Bitten
• ​CruiseControl Plugin for Trac

This is really something that should be done as plugins.
