Build and Workflow Automation

Use Meister's build automation and workflow automation for improving the speed and accuracy of your software builds.

Continuous Integration

Because Builds are not executed in a vacuum, there are often pre and post activities that occur around the build. Use Meister or Mojo to create a build to release continuous integration workflow by using a pre-defined plug-in or calling any command script or program that you need.

Dependency Management with Cross Language Support

Meister performs dependency scanning at the lowest level - the actual source code.  It uses this information to perform good build decision making and to determine build orders for accurate and dependable builds, even when the build uses multiple languages or platforms.

Monitor Builds Real Time

Meister gives you the ability to watch your builds and your build to release workflows execute in real time. Monitoring builds allows you to address build issues, even when the build itself is still executing.  Build monitoring is viewed directly within the Eclipse IDE, allowing developers a single point of control and monitoring.

Extend IDEs

Extend the IDE automatic code creation functionality directly to your builds. Even when you refactor, Meister monitors the IDE project files and performs the build refactoring for you - now that is build automation! View a Quick Demo

Promote Builds and Workflows

Keeping team in sync requires the ability to promote builds from development to production control. Meister or Mojo allows builds and workflows to be promoted across teams, from private to public, creating a rock solid separation of duties between development and production release.

Build Fast with Build Avoidance

No need to build everything every time you execute a build. If you want 10 minute builds times - or less - execute builds with Meister's Build Avoidance.

Schedule Build to Release Processes with Email Notification

Schedule your builds and workflows to execute at anytime of the day or night. Use email notifications to alert the team of the scheduled builds success or failure - sending them the html link right to the build logs.

Establish Build Standards with Reusable Build Methods

Your hard work in writing build scripts should not be wasted - with Meister, you can create reusable build scripts, called methods that can be reused and shared.

Administer

Define Users and Groups and assign priviledes using Meister's Administration. The administration features allows you to restrict build and workflow executions to certain Users and Groups. You can also restrict who can be defined to standardize build best practice and control what dependency directories can be referenced in builds.

Define Build Best Practices

Build repeatability is achieved by defining standard ways of calling compilers. Through Build Services, build best practices can be defined and implemented an entire team, or entire IT department. Build best practices ensures that when you build a jar, war, ear, dll, exe of a certain type, that it is built the same way each time.

Secure Your Builds

Extend the Administrative features of Meister by extending the Meister privileges features to LDAP security. Meister supports LDAP to provide the tightest control and security possible over you build to release process.

Build Audit and Impact Analysis

Build Audit Reports provides you micro level details of your builds such as compile options used and dependency directories used during builds.  You also get Build Metrics reports and centralized logging.

Build Metrics Reports

Centralized logging, Build Difference Reports, Build Metrics Reports and Graphs are just a few of the reports that Mojo provides. These reports track the progress, time measurement and results of your builds.

Perform Parallel Builds

Builds need to be executed across the lifecycle, even when you are working in an agile environment. Seldom is there the case where only one version of the application is used. For example, development is always newer than production. When production breaks, new features should not be included in an emergency fix just because the build can only be done at one lifecycle phase. Meister allows you to perform parallel builds supporting Development, Test, Production and yes, even Emergency builds.
