IBM Rational ClearCase, Ant, and CruiseControl: The Java Developers Guide to Accelerating and Automating the Build Process

This chapter looks at some best practices for reporting on and auditing the build process. First I look at how to generate a baseline report that lists the exact contents of a ClearCase label or baseline in XML, and then subsequently transform this output into HTML format. Next I look at how to customize the CruiseControl Build Results web to display the same report. Finally, I look at how to initiate a ClearCase audited build and how to produce a report of the environment and element versions that the build encompasses.
