Codeship automates this entire process. As soon as you push code to your git repository the tests start to run and a webhook is fired off to your project dashboard in your CI provider of choice. With just a few clicks in your Codeship dashboard you can hook up a new branch or merge request and Codeship will automatically run your test suite. And not only that each test gives you a detailed report so you know exactly what’s been tested and what isn’t.
