Serena Builder

Serena® Builder™ is a comprehensive software build solution spanning multiple operating environments, programming languages, integrated development environments (IDEs) and configuration management systems. It seamlessly integrates with Serena software change and configuration management (SCM) solutions, including Serena® Dimensions®, PVCS® Professional™, and PVCS® Version Manager™.

No scripting is required, although developers may modify pre-configured Builder scripts. They can choose the command-line interface or work in the intuitive web client for convenient access to Builder from any platform or location.

Builder is based on industry standards, and leverages Serena technology and a strategic partnership with Catalyst Systems.

Key Benefits:

• High-speed builds
  Builder uses high-speed dependency scanning and multi-threaded commands for faster builds. It also supports incremental builds, so developers don’t waste time building objects that are already up to date.
• Extensive audit trails
  Builder creates a transparent and auditable build environment with IT Governance Build Audit Reports including SCM item history, Impact Analysis Reports and Central Logging.
• 100% automation
  Many tools claim to 'automate' the build process, but the only real way is to replace manual scripting. Builder does this with ease. Instead of laboring over unnecessary and error-prone manual scripts, developers can concentrate on higher-level tasks.
• Centralized build management
  Builder provides a multi-use dashboard for build promotions and sends email notifications for build monitoring. The central server manages all Builder logs, providing quick access and review.
• Real-time monitoring with immediate error reporting
  Builder detects build errors in real time based on build step, so developers can respond to problems immediately—even prior to the completion of the build.
