AnthillPro 3.0 Delivers Application Lifecycle Automation |
|
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- October 24, 2006 -- Urbancode is pleased to announce the release of AnthillPro3, our third generation Build Management Server. AnthillPro3 is built around an embedded workflow engine and a GRID computing engine, making possible definition and automation of processes such as distributed builds, automated tests, promotions, deployments, and more. These capabilities make AnthillPro3 the first Application Lifecycle Automation Server.
AnthillPro3 introduces the concept of a Living Build, a model of what
actually happens as a build moves from development to release. Living Builds allow secondary processes, such as automated tests, promotions, and deployments to be performed on the build artifacts. The results are then associated with the original build regardless of when the secondary processes are run. In this way, AnthillPro3 produces a comprehensive view of the history of a build as it travels through the application lifecycle.
Usage scenarios detailing how to employ AnthillPro3 for various tasks including Continuous Integration, Deployments, and Performance Testing are available at http://www.anthillpro.com.
