Mojo continuous integration benefits

OpenMake Mojo provides an enterprise level continuous integration build server allowing for build loops to be triggered by an SCM Check-in Process with full workflow and build process automation. OpenMake Mojo can be downloaded for free and will support both CI and Application Life Cycle build process automation. Mojo integrates with best of breed and open source application life cycle tools for easy out of the box workflow definition and execution. Mojo provides the following benefits to software developers:

• Defines a standardized build process that can be re-executed by anyone.
• Orchestrates the execution of ALM tools such as static code analysis and testing tools.
• Provides Metric and Trend Reports
• Provides real-time monitoring and notifications of build activities.
• Centralizes logs creating a self-service environment.
• Simplifies code hand-offs.

Standardized Build Process

OpenMake Mojo gives teams, organizations and entire enterprises a consistent, standardized platform for assembling complex build lifecycle workflows. With Mojo, developers can create build workflows for continuous integration, which can then be re-used and incorporated into workflows for other parts of the lifecycle, such as test and deployment. Team members can easily share build knowledge and techniques, ensuring that new agile projects can come on-line quickly - without having to learn a new build methodology for each project.

Orchestrate ALM Tool Execution

OpenMake Mojo ships with dozens pre-defined ALM plugins supporting email notification, and popular version control, testing and distribution tools.  You can also define your own custom plug-ins to easily integrate in-house developed and less common ALM tools. With the Mojo framework, all of your tools are accessible in a consistent fashion - letting you quickly put together builds that use your tools just the way you need to.

Metrics Reports and Trends

Mojo provides, out of the box, Metrics and Trend reports for the most popular open source and commercial tools.  It tracks success or fail rates, build and deploy speeds, and frequency giving you a high-level view of the activities occurring around the build test and deploy processes.

Real-time Monitoring and Notifications

OpenMake Mojo provides a real-time workflow monitor that enables developers to see at a glance the status of any ongoing builds - right down to the individual activity level. It's easy to idenify successful builds - and even easier to troubleshoot build failures, since Mojo flags in red any failed build steps. No more searching through long log files to fine the cause of a failure. Mojo also has built-in email notifications that can be triggered on success or failure of a build - ensuring that you know exactly what is going on in your agile build process

Centralized Build Logs

Builds are easy to do on one machine. But when your build is complex and involves multiple machines, even simple things like viewing the build logs can be complicated with most tools. With Mojo, all build logs are centralized and available through the web, so that team members down the hall or around the world can easily track and analyze build results.

Automate Code Handoffs

In most agile methodologies, the work completed by software engineers must go through several other groups or team members before finally reaching the end user or customer. Mojo lets you assemble complex, multi-team and multi-machine workflows that automate development builds, and then seamlessly pass those builds on to QA and other teams - each of which can run their own set of workflows to automate their critical activiteis. The end results is a consistent process that ensures smooth handoffs between teams - eliminating a key point of failure in the development process.
