We use it at mySugr.

Simple and great, no admin crap, no maintenance, less overhead.

Works.

These guys are genious: Try their service!
Simple and effective. No more maintenance hassle.
Please add JavaScript and python runtime support as soon as possible. We need something like that. Would really save us time and maintenance headaches. #lean
Totally on our Radar. Will be adding that during the summer.
If it helps, Continuous.io has Python/Django support (with Ruby/Rails support coming soon).

Full disclosure: I'm the founder of Continuous.io

Awesome! This is really going to safe me time! Thanks guys!
Working on a Ruby on Rails project right now. Exactly what i need.
Do you currently support any database? Because according to your FAQ you don't, that makes testing an app a bit hard.

But it does indeed look very nice if you can get at least some native extensions working, that would make it very simple to test an app.

Are there plans for an web based view on the tests and progress of your tests?

Currently we have Postgres installed but not set up. You can install native gems and then test via SQLite. In the next 2 weeks we will roll out postgres and mysql support where you have a test user and a database set up and can test against the databases.

Do you mean a live preview while the tests are running, or analysing which tests ran and then presenting that via the UI?

Live preview is currently not one of our goals, as we don't think it is a feature that lot's of people would really need.

Analysing which of your tests ran, the progress of how many tests were there and presenting analysis of this data is a long term goal. We will provide a Dashboard you can use to get simple overview on your project and shich you can show on a monitor in your office all day. We plan on doing in-depth analysis of all available data to help you in building your software better and more efficiently

Good to know. So I can use SQLite as a substitute to test things? Not as good as having the "real deal", but good enough for a start.

Yes, I meant a live preview. I just like to see things working. But as long as I get an email when it's done thats good enough. But a dashboard would really help.

That's a really nice idea. If you could use the nice display of both Cucumber and RSpec (instead of just the failure), that would make a nice addition to any agile shop. Just having that on display the whole day would really help with the process.

When you talk about analyzing the data, do you mean for example showing which Cucumber scenario broke the most/longest, etc? I like that idea, that would offer a new way to detect code smells.

All in all I really like your idea and just hope it won't be too expensive for a single person, no income side project.

Yes you can use SQLite currently, but in the next weeks we will install postgres and mysql on our servers.

We haven't decided on which analysis we want to do (although we have some in mind) but will simply implement what our users want and need the most.

We will try to make it affordable to anyone, but send me an email to flo@railsonfire.com and let's talk about it a little more. We always need great feedback from our users.

We want to build the perfect solution for you and can only do that with your help and feedback.

Works great and really ease to setup.
great for no hassles quality assurance!
