QA Tools allow you to automatically generate regular releases and/or snapshots of your product. Your product can be distributed as a source code archive (typically .tar.gz) or as a binary distribution archive (.deb, .rpm, .exe).

QA Tools can be used to generate nighly-built source and binary packages suitable for continuous integration and testing.

QA Tools can handle very simple product dependencies (read: in order to build/package product A you first need to build/package product B).

QA Tools work currently with the software packages that have source code managed using Subversion and that are ./configured && make installed using autoconf/automake.

QA Tools can help the people who are developing set of dependent crossplatform products that need to be packaged for different distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora Core, Suse, Windows, ...).

You should be familiar with autoconf/automake (particulary `make dist'), RPM package building, and DEB package building. You should know how to store source code in SVN (trunk, branches, tags). QA Tools will not do any of those for you, but will help you to automate certain things and consume less time doing them.
