All of Quartus' compiling and programming functions are accessible from the command line. So, it should be very easy to develop a script to do all of this. A simple batch file would do, although Python or similar would do equally well.

See the "quartus prime and quartus ii software scripting support (https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-software/quartus-ii/sof-qts-scripting.html)" page and the "quartus ii scripting reference manual (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/manual/tclscriptrefmnl.pdf)".

Cheers,

Alex
