Automated Builds, Deployment and Releases
In the current state of software development, with projects becoming more and more complex, building, deploying and releasing of software projects consumes an ever-increasing amount of time and resources. Automated Build Studio is a powerful automated build and release management system for .NET, Java and Windows developers that provides an easy way to automate the entire build, deployment, quality assurance and release processes.
Automated Build Studio’s intuitive visual build designer and hundreds of built-in operations enable anyone in your team to easily design and maintain reliable build processes that run at a push of the button. Its unmatched flexibility allows build masters to easily handle even the most complex build scenarios, including distributed and parallel builds. And of course, Automated Build Studio lets you schedule automated builds or trigger builds automatically upon source code check-ins – providing you with reliable daily, nightly, weekly or continuous integration builds of your software.
Automated Build Studio offers out-of-the-box integration with more than 170 tools and includes over 660 built-in operations to help you automate a broad range of tasks:
- Get, check-in and label source files in version control systems.
- Compile and sign applications.
- Create installation packages and patches.
- Compile help files.
- Deploy files to network shares or FTP servers.
- Create ISO images and burn CDs and DVDs.
- Send build notifications via e-mail, MSN, ICQ or newsgroups.
- Run automated tests and perform static code analysis.
- Create bug reports in issue-tracking systems and access existing items.
- Run, pause and stop virtual machines and control their state.
- Copy, move, compare, create and delete files and folders.
- Read and modify XML, INI, text files and registry values.

- Execute queries against databases.
- And much more!
With all of this functionality, Automated Build Studio can not only perform automated builds, but any other repetitive and day-to-day tasks in your company, including (but not limited to):
- Deployments to test or production environments.
- Quality assurance processes - unit and acceptance tests, memory leak profiling and much more.
