Automated Build Studio

Abs_img.jpg

Automated Build Studio developed by AutomatedQA is a build and release management system that provides automation of the software development build, test and release processes.

Main Features

Visual Macro Designer – helps to create visually constructed macros.

Distributed build support - the ability to distribute the execution of macro operations among multiple computers.

Remote Macro Execution Control – running macros located on remote computers and monitor such macro runs.

Concurrent execution of operations – organizing the macro operations so that they could be executed simultaneously.

Charts displaying macro run statistics - displaying the information in a graphical form within the Charts panel. This feature helps to analyze the ratio of successful and failed runs, the duration of macro runs and the frequency of macro runs over a desired period of time.

Tasks Scheduler - is a key feature for creation of automated daily builds. It helps to create scheduled macro runs.

Macro debugger - is similar to debugging an application in a development tool. Debugging features allow checking whether the macro functions correctly or quickly locating errors in the macro and fix them.

Automatic notifications - getting notification of whether a macro run was successful or not. Notification can be sent in different forms: via E-mail, Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger, ICQ.

Assistant - a context-sensitive Assistant that displays commands, hints and links to help topics.

Run via command-line – execution of macros without loading them into the Build Studio IDE - by specifying the desired macro name in the Build Studio's command line.
