Compare the Top Build Automation Tools for Cloud as of April 2025

What are Build Automation Tools for Cloud?

Build automation tools are software tools that automate the process of compiling, testing, and deploying software applications. These tools help developers streamline the building of software from source code, ensuring that the process is repeatable, consistent, and efficient. Build automation typically includes compiling code, running unit tests, generating reports, packaging software, and deploying it to different environments. By automating these steps, build automation tools reduce human errors, improve efficiency, and support continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices. Compare and read user reviews of the best Build Automation tools for Cloud currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Travis CI

    Travis CI

    Travis CI

    The simplest way to test and deploy your projects in the cloud or on-prem. Easily sync your projects with Travis CI and you’ll be testing your code in minutes. Check out our features – now you can sign up for Travis CI using your Assembla, Bitbucket, GitHub or GitLab account to connect your repositories! Testing your open-source projects is always 100% free! Log in with your cloud repository, tell Travis CI to test a project, and then push. Could it be any simpler? Many databases and services are pre-installed and can be enabled in your build configuration. Make sure every Pull Request to your project is tested before it’s merged. Updating staging or production as soon as your tests pass has never been easier! Builds on Travis CI are configured mostly through the build configuration stored in the file .travis.yml in your repository. This allows your configuration to be version controlled and flexible.
