Why use FinalBuilder?
Traditionally, batch files, XML based build tools or general purpose scripting tools have been used to automate builds. The result of these methods is a build process which is typically difficult to maintain, difficult for people to understand and which suffers from a lack of proper error handling. It also takes a long time to create a reliable batch file or script which automates the entire build process. A visual automated build tool with all the functionality of FinalBuilder makes it quick and easy to define, debug, maintain and run a reliable build process.
FinalBuilder will:
- Save time and money - automated builds are typically much quicker than manual builds, sometimes cutting something that took a day down to minutes.
- Allow anyone in the team to run a build - FinalBuilder is so easy to use, so you won't need a "build guru" to create, maintain and run your builds.
- Improve the quality of your releases - FinalBuilder cuts the human error factor substantially by automating boring and repetitive tasks.
- Have a record of what was built when - FinalBuilder logs the output from all the tools it calls, and the logs from previous builds are archived.
