Urbancode releases AnthillPro Build and Release Server 3.4

12.09.2007 · Posted in Tools

Urbancode announces the release of AnthillPro 3.4, the newest version of its Continuous Integration, Build and Dependency Management, Deployment Automation, Test Orchestration, and Release Management tool.
AnthillPro provides a unique, holistic view of the entire software lifecycle – something we call an Application Lifecycle Automation server. AnthillPro supports teams developing in .Net, Java, and native languages and provides management of the build farm, test systems and deployment environments.

User Interface Changes

For version 3.4, the User Interface underwent significant changes to increase user productivity and make AnthillPro more intuitive. Now Ajax enabled, version 3.4 combines many common processes reducing the time users spend navigating from page to page. In addition to a new look, this release introduces a hierarchical project management scheme enabling users to organize projects, workflows, and jobs into folders; as well as new metrics and reports that place relevant information at the users’ fingertips.

Configuration Libraries

AnthillPro 3.4 also introduces a job library and a workflow library, allowing users to set up standardized build practices by reusing configuration across multiple projects. For teams with many similar projects, this represents a large savings in setup time and maintainence.
