Build Management

Optimizing the Software Build-Test-Deploy Process

ElectricCommander automates and accelerates the software build-test-deploy process that follows the creation of new code. It removes a significant bottleneck for software development by transforming an error-prone, manual process into an agile, reliable command & control system for software production.

Enterprises for whom software is mission-critical – such as Qualcomm, Intuit, Caterpillar, and the New York Stock Exchange – use ElectricCommander to create a competitive advantage through higher software quality, reduced costs and increased developer productivity.

Benefits Across the Development Organization

With ElectricCommander, your developers, release engineers, build managers, QA teams, and development managers gain:

• Continuous integration and greater agility
• Faster cycle time and more efficient hardware utilization
• Shared platform for disseminating best practices and reusing common procedures
• Improved ability to support geographically distributed teams
• Visibility/reporting for better project predictability
• Self-service provisioning for developers
• Better software quality by integrating and validating against all target platforms and configurations

How is it different?

• Unlike most build management servers, ElectricCommander has an extensible architecture that scales to support multiple teams, working in multiple locations, and developing for multiple platforms … with a single system.
• And unlike homegrown systems, ElectricCommander provides a secure, reliable solution that adapts to the way your teams work while requiring minimal administrative overhead to maintain. So your developers and build teams spend less time managing tools, scripts and servers and more time delivering great software.

Benefits of Using ElectricCommander and CollabNet Lab Management

• Dramatically reduced server sprawl through hardware consolidation
• Reduced effort required to configure and run build and test environments
• Improved quality through frequent compilation and testing on all target environments and configurations
• Reduced dependence on IT operations for development teams
