Pulse
build it your way
Pulse
is an
automated build server
that is
simple to set up and
easy to use
while providing
advanced features
such as
distributed builds
as well as many other
productivity enhancements.
Pulse is designed to work with you through continuous integration to ensure the integrity of your most precious asset: your code. Pulse works by automatically monitoring your SCM server, checking out changed code, building the projects that use this code and notifying you of the results. You can see Pulse in action in our demonstation videos.
why use Pulse for continuous integration?
The first step towards continuous integration is to automate your build system.
Pulse delivers your development team the flexibility of a home-grown build server without the engineering cost. Rather than requiring you to change the way you work, Pulse adapts to suit you.
Key features:
-
Pulse is adaptable so it works in existing environments
Pulse has been designed from the ground up to adapt to existing environments. No changes are required to your project to adapt it to run in a fully automated build environment.
-
Pulse supports distributed builds
Pulse supports multi-platform testing and parallel builds distributed across multiple agents and controlled from a single master server.
-
Pulse supports personal builds
Pulse allows you to test your outstanding changes before you commit them to your SCM server.
-
Pulse puts your developers in control
Pulse gives each developer their own dashboard, which shows the information most relevant to them. Developers control what they see, and choose how and when to be notified of build events.
-
Pulse is easy to install
You can download Pulse, install it and build your project within a matter of minutes. Once running, Pulse requires very little ongoing administration.
The Pulse product page provides a comprehensive feature list.
why automated builds?
The most valuable asset of a software development team is the source code they create. An automatic build system used in conjunction with automated unit test suite enables you to constantly monitor the integrity of your source code; a software engineering practice called continuous integration. This approach helps you to ensure that your project stays on track because it:
- increases developer productivity: by reducing integration problems;
- increases the visibility of project health: by providing constant monitoring and feedback; and,
- encourages developer discipline: by highlighting the who, how and why of problems as early as possible in the development cycle.
An automatic build server has many additional advantages.
