Press Release

FinalBuilder Server simplifies the implementation of sophisticated build, test and release systems and centralizes build management to provide you with complete control over your build system. 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.

Features

  • Graphical Interface
    FinalBuilder presents a build process in a logically structured, graphical interface. Any software developer can define and maintain a build with FinalBuilder, without learning a new XML schema or scripting language.
  • 600+ Built-in Actions
    With over 600 built-in scripts, called actions, FinalBuilder has an action to automate every common task in a build process. It also integrates with your existing compiler, version control and testing tools.
  • Integrated Debugging
    A debugging engine is fully integrated into the FinalBuilder IDE. You can step between actions, set break points and set variable watches to debug your build process.
  • Continuous Integration Server
    FinalBuilder Professional includes a full featured Continuous Integration and Automated Build server to build and test your code the moment it is checked-in to version control.
  • Advanced Flow Control
    FinalBuilder includes Try, Catch actions for localized error handling; as well as all the loops and conditional statements you get in a full programming language.
  • Scheduled Builds
    FinalBuilder provides tight integration with the windows scheduling service, which allows builds to be scheduled to run daily, weekly or whenever you wish.
  • Detailed Logging
    Output from all actions in the build process is directed to the build log. The log maintains the same tree structure as the action lists, which makes it easy to find your way in the log file. Logs can be exported in HTML, XML or text formats.
  • Email, MSN, FTP & SFTP Support
    Your build process can email the results of the build to you, so for example if the build fails, it can export the log, attach it to an email and send it to you. Or it can send you an ICQ message. You can announce successful builds on nntp news servers.
  • Variables
    Using variables is the key to making your build process dynamic. Use variables to pass information from one action to another, and also to enable actions to use user specific or machine specific values.
  • Version Control Integration
    FinalBuilder supports more than a dozen version control systems out-of-the-box, so it can get, checkout, tag and perform other build related operations with your existing revision control system.
  • Rich Web Interface
    FinalBuilder's Web interface has been carefully crafted to combine functionality with usability. Enjoy an accelerated web experience with AJAX status pages, logs, properties pages and flash based build metrics.
  • Build Metrics
    More than just the numbers, FinalBuilder Server's build metrics provide an insight into the quality of your builds over the life of the software project. These interactive charts expose trends in compiler errors, unit test results and help compiler errors.
  • Web Accessible Build Logs
    Comprehensive record keeping is built into FinalBuilder and so is a straightforward method to access this information remotely. Get remote access to the finer details of your build using the dynamic or static logs.
  • Team Management
    FinalBuilder Server integrates seamlessly with your existing Active Directory accounts to make team management a breeze. The built-in team system also provides customizable security roles and permissions for interaction with projects, triggers, server configuration and more.
  • Triggers & Conditions
    In addition to continuous integration triggers, FinalBuilder Server provides a triggers to execute a build at a specified time, interval, process output or file event. Conditions are also available to give you control over your build triggers.
  • Build Notifications
    Continuous feedback is an important counterpart to continuous integration. With FinalBuilder Server, your automated build process can deliver continuous feedback about build results via email, RSS and tray notification.
