Build Management

The benefits of rapid feedback are making Continuous Integration (CI) a standard practice among teams adopting Agile software development. AnthillPro, built on seven years of experience, provides everything you expect from a mature Continuous Integration solution. But when you scale CI from a single team up to the enterprise, you need more than just rapid feedback. You need a system that:

  • Serves all projects regardless of operating system, programming language, or build technology.
  • Brings hundreds of agents into the build grid.
  • Assembles an application from many subprojects.
  • Captures and automates your entire release process, from check-in through release, with end-to-end traceability.
  • Enables role-based security that will leverage your existing authorization systems.

AnthillPro delivers all of this. Which is why 25 percent of Fortune 100 companies use AnthillPro.

Life-Cycle Model

The starting point of the build management system is the Life-Cycle Model, which brings your vocabulary into the build system. Each reusable Life-Cycle Model captures the stages — such as Development, QA, UAT, and Production — that matter for the projects in your organization.

Configurable Workflows

With AnthillPro, you concurrently run build-verification tests across any number of machines, orchestrating sophisticated test automation. AnthillPro also enables you to deploy the server piece (of a three-tiered application) to a cluster of servers while, at the same time, deploying a client piece to any number of client machines — and then you can have the clients run tests on the cluster of servers. AnthillPro also supports automated, customizable promotion processes. This could be as simple as creating a new baseline in the SCM; including repackaging of the build artifacts; or deploying to a particular environment.

Whatever you need in your environments, AnthillPro enables you to capture these steps as part of your own custom Workflow Library so they can be used across multiple projects.
