Features & Screenshots

View the field of battle for every application. In an instant, you are completely aware of the order of battle defined by the environments for your application as well as the state of every release and build seeking conduct across that field.

With one swift click, your build seeks its concourse from environment to environment under the watchful care of BuildMaster. As the build wends its way through each step of its deployment plan, it completely and correctly follows each step that you have laid out on the journey to deployment.

BuildMaster keeps your forces united in the march towards deployment. Linking into your favorite issue-tracking tool, for example, gives you added intelligence as to the status of a particular release while ensuring that your allied tools remain aware and up to date. BuildMaster unifies your tools so that they all work toward the goal—successful promotion and deployment of the build.

BuildMaster faithfully tracks and reports every step that the build passed through along with the results. The execution details let you know that all is well in the kingdom or when a speedy rescue is required when a build’s progress is blocked.

The Deployment Plan is your highly detailed map that leads from the developer’s desktop to the production server(s) for each individual application within your realm. Each plan documents the specific Actions necessary for the successful promotion of a build from one environment to the next. BuildMaster manages all environments separately giving you control of every battle as well as the overall campaign toward release deployment. That way, each plan is tailored exactly for the environment in question with different steps for each.

Each Action is a rich with detail for specifying precisely what needs to be done and in what order within the domain of each environment. Since each environment can be different, each Action holds the characteristic details necessary for properly specifying virtually anything including label specification, server paths, logins and more. With no detail forgotten, builds cannot lose their way on the field of battle.

Promotions are under your complete control. Builds follow your orders explicitly and await your command. For example, if a build requires an approval before promotion, BuildMaster makes it so. Moreover, the timing of promotions is completely under your control. Just as any good knight manages the tempo of battle, so you too can manage the flow of every build.

BuildMaster unravels the complexity of tracking and managing configuration files across multiple environments without the need for Merlin’s crystal ball. BuildMaster helps you manage one configuration file with many instances with versioning, logging and security tied with each instance.

Navigating database changes across the field is easy as BuildMaster guards your flanks. Scripts run once and are always logged. Furthermore, you can review and reject the change or arbitrarily refresh a database instance through BuildMaster.
