For one week, top 5 cloud-based iOS Continuous Integration Services were involved in the Olympics competitions. The competitions have been held to evaluate the performance of each player against the XCFit project with 20 different criteria. I would like to thank all the five players including
The player has received the GOLD, SILVER or BRONZE medal according to the performance. In order to, get a little bit of background for this Olympics, we need to go through some previous posts in this series.
- The purpose and rules of the iOS CI Olympics games are mentioned in the introductory blog post.
- Performance of the player one: BuddyBuild
- Performance of the player two: Bitrise
- Performance of the player three: TravisCI
- Performance of the player four: Nevercode
- Performance of the player five: CircleCI
As of now, we have given the 20 medals per games and the current medal table looks like this:
There is a tough fight between Bitrise and BuddyBuild at this moment but other players like TravisCI, CircleCI and Nevercode are too close. However, the game hasn’t finished yet. We still have 5 magic medals to be awarded to each player according to the following criteria
- Social Media support during evaluation
- Correcting my observations during evaluation
- Accepting facts and respecting competitors
- Showing courage to improve services
- User Feedback on Twitter & Public API
A medal will be awarded for each of the criteria. This means every player will get 25 medals and winners will be the player who won maximum GOLD medals. If there are equal GOLD medal then we will look for the number of SILVER medals.
