Welcome to FinalBuilder�

Automating your builds with FinalBuilder�s graphical interface and extensive built-in functionality, you can improve the overall quality of your software, reduce the length of your development life-cycle and free yourself from the monotony of manual builds and headaches of XML.
How does FinalBuilder Work?
FinalBuilder features built-in 'actions' for automating many tasks and 3rd party applications that are commonly used in a build process. Most development tools such as compilers, install builders, version controls systems, support some sort of automation interface, for example a command line compiler, or a COM interface. FinalBuilder leverages these interfaces into a consistent and easy to use GUI application. Each of FinalBuilder's actions provide an interface to a third party tool or internal function. Simply chain actions together to create a customised workflow to automate each step in your build, test and release process.
To extend FinalBuilder�s functionality beyond that which is built-in, FinalBuilder also supports scripting and provides ActionStudio. Scripting can be used with each action as it exposes events which can be coded in VBScript, JavaScript or PowerShell. ActionStudio, on the other hand, provides an IDE for developing custom actions in any of these languages that you can the plug-in to FinalBuilder.
