FinalBuilder Server

With FinalBuilder Server, you'll always know the status of your build because important build information is made easily accessible. A central status page gives a quick overview of the health of all your latest builds. Digging deeper, you can access complete build logs, build history and metrics to get in-depth information about every aspect of your automated build processes.

Once a build project is configured in FinalBuilder Server, you can start or stop a build with a single click, or it can be run automatically with a time, process or continuous integration trigger. FinalBuilder Server also provides access to a project's build queue, variables and notifications to empower you with remote control over your build process.

Access to all of these great features is safely managed through an Active Directory (LDAP) integrated Team Management System. Role based permission management is the backbone of this system, allowing administrators to assign each user a set of permissions for interacting with build projects.

The benefits of using FinalBuilder Server include:

• Easily accessible build information (even away from your build machine)
• Centralized build control for effective build project management
• Build project independence from particular developers or machines
• Simplified implementation of continuous integration and continuous feedback
• All the benefits of using the FinalBuilder IDE to automate your builds

The features of FinalBuilder Server include:

• Continuous Integration triggers for a number of version control systems
• Build Notifications for instant feedback via email and RSS
• Comprehensive build logs and insightful build metrics
• Active Directory (LDAP) integrated Team Management System with role based permissions management
• Time and process triggers for daily builds, nightly builds and more automatically executed builds
• Build Responsibility system to fix broken builds faster; all packaged in a Rich web interface
