'''GoCD''' is an [open-source](/source/open-source_software) tool which is used in software development to help teams and organizations automate the [continuous delivery](/source/continuous_delivery) (CD) of software. It supports automating the entire build-test-release process from code check-in to deployment. It helps to keep producing valuable software in short cycles and ensure that the software can be reliably released at any time. It supports several [version control](/source/version_control) tools including [Git](/source/Git_(software)), [Mercurial](/source/Mercurial), [Subversion](/source/Subversion_(software)), [Perforce](/source/Perforce) and [TFVC](/source/Team_Foundation_Version_Control) (''a la'' TFS). Other version control software can be supported by installing additional plugins. GoCD is released under the [Apache 2 License](/source/Apache_License).

==History==
GoCD was originally developed at [ThoughtWorks](/source/ThoughtWorks) Studios in 2007 and was called Cruise before being renamed GoCD in 2010.
