By managing at the build engines level, such as MSBuild and Ant, OpenMake Meister addresses the entire build process, starting at the lowest level, the compile process and ending with workflow processing and scheduling. Meister mashes up the individual developer's IDE build with the team build executed outside of the IDE, delivering the most accurate and repeatable builds possible from development to production release.
Because Meister is addressing the core of the build, the build engines themselves, Meister decreases the time of the build by reducing build speeds through iterative technology, called Build Avoidance. Meister improves software quality by ensuring that builds can be repeated consistently between development builds and pre-production builds, frequently and accurately.
