## Nightly builds
Nightly builds are automatically produced at least once a day and include all the latest
code (bug fixes and features) from maintainers and community contributors.
Nightly builds are not hand-tested before upload. A basic set of automated
[smoke tests](https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x/tree/current/smoketest/scripts/cli) is executed
for each build ensuring that basic functionality is working. In addition we load arbitrary
[configurations](https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x/tree/current/smoketest/configs) to ensure
there are no errors during config migration and system bootup.
Nightly builds are for you if you...
- want to help us test latest VyOS code
- want to check whether a bug is fixed in the latest code
- made a patch and want to test it before making a pull request
Go to the [nightly builds page](/get/nightly-builds).
