 OpenMake Meister releases the power of software builds delivering speed, transparency and repeatability across the application lifecycle. Meister saves time and money by shortening development cycles and consolidating what would normally be time consuming redundant tasks. Meister's delivers 100% automation in both build and workflow processing. Meister integrates with build engines to create synchronized pre-commit, continuous integrations and team builds for today's quickly changing development environment. Through build automation, developers can maximize on feed back loops and accelerate builds for multiple languages including C/C++ and Java. Meister integrates with more IDEs and ALM products than any of its competitors.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Continuous Integration with ALM Support
Working in an agile environment requires a solid continuous integration process with integration to application lifecycle activities such as static code analysis, testing and deployment. Meister offers a complete solution for Agile developers including pre-commit builds and continuous integration features. Meister continuous integration workflow supports the ability to create chained relationships between activities and distributed workload processing.
Smart Builds
When managing the compile and link process, your build must be smart enough to understand source code relationships in order to become pro-active in finding the cause of “bad builds”. Meister executes “smart” builds, meaning that Meister discovers the relationships between source code objects, understands the order in which artifacts are to be created and allows you to control the inclusion of transitive dependencies. Only OpenMake Meister provides you the smart build features because only Meister manages your builds at the build engine level.
Build Avoidance
Incremental build processing is a critical feature, particularly for agile developers implementing a check-in and build process. Meister supports full “Build Avoidance” technology meaning that when you check-in and build, only the objects that are out of date are re-built, and re-built accurately. Meister performs “Build Avoidance” automatically – no one individual needs to manually define the relationships. Meister’s dependency management handles the “Build Avoidance” for you across multiple languages and operating systems.
Parallelized Builds
Running complete system builds can take hours for large complex systems. Meister speeds up complex builds by running the builds in multi-threaded mode leveraging multi-core servers. Meister’s parallelized build technology can improve your build speeds by as much as 50% and requires no overhead of managing multiple machines to distribute out compiler calls across a network.
Distributed Workload Processing
Meister allows you to manage the workload of your continuous integration process across multiple distributed machines. This can improve the speed of your overall processing time by executing multiple activities, such as executing test cases, at the same time on different machines.
100% Build Management Solution
Meister is the only solution that provides both build and workflow processing giving you 100% automation. Most solutions only address a small part of process automation, the calling of standard Application Lifecycle tools in a workflow. In most environments this represents about 10% of the total process automation challenge. Meister resolves the most difficult aspect of software development, the build itself giving you 100% automation for both build and workflow.
Improved Build Speeds
The speed of the build determines the time it takes for developers to get the feed back needed that allows them to progress forward in their coding activities. Fast builds are needed for pre-commit, continuous integration and emergency builds. Meister accelerates build times for many languages including both C/C++ and Java. With shorter builds, there is no time wasted "waiting for the build". Builds that take longer than a few minutes impede development activities and waste valuable developer time and money.
Reduces Development Costs
Meister automates manual tasks and eliminates redundant activities commonly performed by developers. From automatically updating build scripts to providing a framework of reusable tasks, Meister reduces development cost by supporting 100% automation in both build and workflow processing. Minimizing the repetitive manual task performed by developers is the most effective method of meeting your project deadlines and beating your project budget. Meister gets you there.
Supports Agile and Traditional Styles of Development
Hybrid development environments are not uncommon as different teams within an organization begin implementing new and improved process. Meister supports both agile and the more traditional styles of application development. Meister can easily support agile methods with its continuous integration and pre-commit build processing. Developers working in a waterfall methodology can define builds to support multiple parallel streams from development to production across the lifecycle.
Eliminates "Bad Builds"
"Bad builds" are a symptom of a process that is not standardized or repeatable. They are common in a manually scripted process because the scripts themselves are static, while the development going on around them is fast changing and dynamic. Meister eliminates the "bad build" by synchronizing the activities occurring on each development machine, with the activities performed at the team build level including pre-commit, continuous and pre-production build levels. Meister creates a standard and repeatable process before the build, during the build and after the build.
COMPANY INFORMATION
 Openmake Software empowers the heart of software development, the conversion of source code into binaries, called the software build. The build will either make or break the ability for teams to meet deadlines and beat budgets. We understand when builds are managed correctly, they improve the accuracy and speed of development, reduces development cycles, facilitates enterprise teamwork, and provides insight into the projects potential success or failure. We deliver the solutions that release the full potential of software development through both build automation and continuous integration. Over 100,000 users recognize OpenMake Software as the authority for solving tough build challenges.
