History

Go is based on the open source integration tool CruiseControl which was also created by ThoughtWorks.[3][4] The original commercial version of CruiseControl was called Cruise,[5] but in July 2010 ThoughtWorks Studios announced Go as a replacement for Cruise.[6] Go is positioned as an "Agile" release management and Continuous Delivery solution.[7]

Features

Go supports the build and release pipeline.[8] The pipeline allows changes to an application to be monitored as they progress from initial check-in to functional testing, performance testing, user acceptance testing, staging, and release.[9] Go also supports environment modeling, re-usable deployment workflow templates and parallel test intelligence.[10]
