Automated Build Studio includes about 800 built-in operations that support the most popular modern compilers, installation building tools, testing tools, version control systems and other tools. This makes Automated Build Studio an invaluable solution for developers and managers. You will find Build Studio useful in managing the build and deployment processes for your software projects.

Developers typically use Automated Build Studio to —

• Choose build options and configurations.
• Get or check in the latest version of source files to and from source control systems.
• Recompile the application and its libraries.
• Initiate a testing and profiling process.
• Create installation packages.
• Uploading installation packages to an FTP or HTTP server, or burn installation disks.
• Schedule daily and nightly builds.

Managers typically use Automated Build Studio to —

• View the current build status of all projects.
• View the high-level build statistics.

Automated Build Studio integrates with SmartBear’s performance profiling and memory and resource debugging tool — AQtime, a full-fledged automated testing tool — TestComplete and an automated error reporting and resolution system — AQtrace. For example, you can create a macro in Automated Build Studio that builds your application with AQtrace error reporting functionality included, analyze the application performance and search for memory and resource leaks with AQtime and use TestComplete to run automated unit, functional and regression tests on your application. If any problems have been found during profiling or automated testing, Automated Build Studio will submit them to an issue-tracking system like Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation or Bugzilla.
