I think it fair to say that in it's most useful form, a 'tinderbox' would be set up to build the latest code of a product or project (often continuously), and also running as many tests on the results as practical. In my experiences implementing one, I never achieved the second goal. The idea behind a 'tinderbox' is, I believe, almost universally to identify regressions of one sort or another as efficiently as possible (from a man-power perspective), and in as timely a manner as possible. Thanks, - Tom
