Automated software build, package test and deployment made possible with ElectricCommander

Monday, 13 November 2006 19:33

Electric Cloud recently announced the release of ElectricCommander™, the industry's first enterprise-class solution to automate the software development steps that follow coding - namely the build, package, test and deploy processes. ElectricCommander joins Electric Cloud's current products, ElectricAccelerator™, which accelerates build and test steps by 10-20X, and ElectricInsight™, which provides visibility into the software production process for diagnostic purposes, to complete the industry's only end-to-end solution for Software Production Management.

In an interview with Patrick Egan, Editor in Chief of the CM Journal, John Osterhout, Founder of Electric Cloud and creator of the Tcl scripting language talks about the need for better automation of the software build, test, package and deployment processes and about the release of the new ElectricCommander.

ElectricCommander Advantages
Unlike traditional build management tools, ElectricCommander is the first truly enterprise-class solution, allowing customers to:

Manage Projects of Any Size: While simple to set up and use, ElectricCommander scales to support the largest and most complex build and test processes. Only ElectricCommander's multi-threaded Java server provides efficient synchronization even under high job volume.
Share and Reuse Project Assets: ElectricCommander's unique information architecture groups items in virtual projects and each item is stored with metadata that makes it simple to identify assets or procedures for reuse. Shared assets and reuse makes individual teams more efficient by eliminating duplicate work, and gives organizations the power to deploy cross-company standards.
Make Processes Transparent and Repeatable: ElectricCommander's unique analytics provide valuable insight into the details of production jobs, not just success of failure. After each step in a process completes, a postprocessor is invoked to extract information from the step's log file-this information is kept as persistent properties, providing easy access to diagnostic information.
Optimize Without Reengineering: Unlike other solutions that require engineering teams to learn new languages and processes, ElectricCommander is easy to adopt and roll out across teams with a highly interactive Web interface and simple techniques for migrating existing scripts.

About Electric Cloud
Electric Cloud is the leading provider of Software Production Management solutions that accelerate, automate and analyze the software development tasks that follow the check-in of new code. These include the software build, package, test and deploy processes. The company's patented and award-winning solutions improve productivity in the face of increasing product complexity and time-to-market pressures for software delivery. Until now, most organizations have used 'homegrown' solutions that can be difficult to manage, brittle and isolated, resulting in process bottlenecks. This is all compounded by increasing adoption of agile development methods, distributed teams, and pressures of compliance mandates. Leading companies such as Qualcomm, Intuit, Motorola and Expedia rely on Electric Cloud's Software Production Management solutions to change software production from a liability to a competitive advantage.
