Kraken

Kraken CI is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform designed to enhance software testing workflows with a focus on detailed test result analysis and automation. It provides developers and DevOps teams with tools to observe test regressions and fixes over time through visual charts, enabling better insight into test case behavior and stability. The system automatically identifies unstable tests and supports performance testing with statistical analysis across multiple iterations, helping teams detect regressions early and reduce software defects.

The platform supports diverse execution environments, including local systems, containerized environments (Docker, LXD), and virtual machines on cloud providers such as AWS EC2. This flexibility allows testing on standard hardware, unstable pre-production hardware, or simulated environments where real hardware is unavailable or costly. Kraken CI also supports cloud deployment with autoscaling capabilities on AWS, automatically provisioning new execution machines based on demand to optimize resource usage.

Kraken CI aims to standardize pre-commit testing by enabling developers to run the same tests used in product validation, reducing the risk of regressions and eliminating the need for expensive individual bench test setups. Its open-source nature encourages community contributions, with comprehensive documentation and guides available for setup, administration, and development. Teams can get started quickly using the provided quick start guides and leverage the system’s extensibility to integrate with existing workflows and testing frameworks.
