Smart Builds Now is the world's first smart, knowledge-based build manager for dynamically calculating and executing N-source-tree, single-platform software builds, with no human labor required. It discovers and analyzes N source trees in a file system, calls Smart Makefiles Now to generate precision, native, multiplatform makefiles for sequential and parallel builds, and executes makefile targets (such as "make all") in proper build order among source trees to complete the build.

Smart Builds Now makes single-platform software builds trivial, regardless of programming language, size of the build, platform, or other such complicating factors. Here's a typical command for performing a complex, N-source-tree, single-platform software build:

sbnow go -x smnow -x all

Smart Builds Now stores software build knowledge in the system, and not in people, thereby reducing project risk by making software builds insensitive to employee turnover, individual skill levels, and human knowledge limits (where complex builds are of concern).

From the perspective of a team leader who manages software projects, the most noticeable effect of a smart build manager is one of enhanced project smoothness and simplicity. It's simple to do software builds. Complex builds can be generated and executed effortlessly. Software builds require less work, and fail less often. Zero makefile errors occur. Developers can generate and execute complex, precision builds in seconds. Software builds run faster because smart build tools can take advantage of parallelism in computing resources.

Smart Builds Now runs on 20 platforms.
