-Continuous integration server
-=============================
+Continuous integration
+======================
 
-We run a continuous integration (CI) server at http://ci.mopidy.com/ that runs
-all test on multiple platforms (Ubuntu, OS X, etc.) for every commit we push to
-GitHub.
+Mopidy uses the free service `Travis CI <http://travis-ci.org/#mopidy/mopidy>`_
+for automatically running the test suite when code is pushed to GitHub. This
+works both for the main Mopidy repo, but also for any forks. This way, any
+contributions to Mopidy through GitHub will automatically be tested by Travis
+CI, and the build status will be visible in the GitHub pull request interface,
+making it easier to evaluate the quality of pull requests.
 
-In addition to running tests, the CI server also gathers coverage statistics
-and uses pylint to check for errors and possible improvements in our code. So,
-if you're out of work, the code coverage and pylint data at the CI server
-should give you a place to start.
+In addition, we run a Jenkins CI server at http://ci.mopidy.com/ that runs all
+test on multiple platforms (Ubuntu, OS X, x86, arm) for every commit we push to
+the ``develop`` branch in the main Mopidy repo on GitHub. Thus, new code isn't
+tested by Jenkins before it is merged into the ``develop`` branch, which is a
+bit late, but good enough to get broad testing before new code is released.
+
+In addition to running tests, the Jenkins CI server also gathers coverage
+statistics and uses pylint to check for errors and possible improvements in our
+code. So, if you're out of work, the code coverage and pylint data at the CI
+server should give you a place to start.
