NICOS, NIghtly COntrol System, is a flexible tool for coordination of
software development in large-scale projects. It manages the multi-platform
nightly builds based on the recent versions of software packages, tries to
compensate for technical failures, tests the newly built software, identifies
possible problems, and makes results immediately available to developers
spread over different institutions and countries. The NICOS nightly build
services ensure that new software submissions are consistent and provide
expected results. The NICOS tool was developed to coordinate the efforts
of more than 100 developers from 34 countries for the ATLAS project at
CERN and can be easily adapted for other large software projects.
