Probo is a user automated testing tool that provides continuous integration, workflow organization and quality assurance using the same tool for project managers and developers.^[3][4][5][6]

Probo expands upon the automated testing functionality of many other CI tools by providing a quality assurance environment where users can manually review the look and feel of changes before committing them.

Probo was initially developed as a tool for internal use by its parent company, Zivtech, to improve upon the offerings of other CI tools.^[7][3] Once the founders realized that it filled a gap in the industry, they expanded it into a separate offering as a better way to automate the process, involve clients and project managers in the earliest stages, and reduce the cycle of testing and approval.^[3]

Probo (by definition: demonstrate, test, approve)^[8] is an open source tool that has been built to work with Drupal,^[9] integrates into GitHub and posts statuses of the builds to GitHub PR. The tool itself is written in Node.js and powered by Docker.^[4][6][10]

Probo was the first CI tool to provide a quality assurance environment where users can manually review their changes.

Based on the original Jenkins for Java, there are now similar tools for other programming frameworks such as:

• Buildbot — a Python system to automate the compile/test cycle to validate code changes.
• Tox — an automation tool providing packaging, testing and deployment of Python software.
• Travis-CI — a distributed CI server which builds tests for open source projects for free.
• Django-Jenkins — Django (Python) Web Framework integration with Jenkins.^[11]
