Software Builds Tools

The Software Build, otherwise known as integration, is the process of taking all source code files that make up an application and compiling them into build artifacts, such as binaries or executables.

The only way to accurately predict build results, ensure build reproducibility and guarantee minimal development down time due to build issues is to fully automate the build process.
