Build Management

  • Need to improve your build quality?
  • Looking for ways to automate your build process?
  • Struggling to support continuous integration?

Automate the build management process
Build management is a critical, yet often overlooked part of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). Frequently builds are managed through separate scripts and systems, leaving it difficult to trace problems, maintain visibility into build status, or support evolving build needs. Serena makes it simple to automate and manage the build process. Whether you are managing builds across distributed systems, mainframes, or both, Serena can help you streamline your build and release process.

Which solution is right for you?

Serena supports build management for both distributed and mainframe systems. The right solution will depend on whether you are looking for build management exclusively for distributed systems, mainframe systems, or a combination of both.

Build management for distributed and mainframe systems

Serena Dimensions CM manages builds across distributed systems and can also manage builds performed on mainframe systems. Dimensions CM can execute and manage builds natively, or can orchestrate builds in other tools such as OpenMake Meister, ANT, or Make.

Build management for mainframe systems

Serena ChangeMan ZMF provides complete build management for the mainframe, including auditing of dynamic relationships between content included in a build. When builds occur, the subordinate components are automatically pulled from the correct release, streamlining the Build and Release Management process.

With Serena build management solutions you can:

Make builds a seamless part of your application lifecycle

Usings Serena solutions your build process is managed as part of the overall application lifecycle. When managed as part of the larger process you save time, money, and headache.

Manage builds on different systems and platforms

Our open architectures ensures that you can use virtually any build engine (such as your own scripts, OpenMake, or ANT), on virtually any system--whether it be distributed or mainframe. This makes it possible to have a single build management system, making builds much more efficient, and fully traceable.

Works the way you work

You have different build needs for Java than .Net. Mainframe builds are going to be different than builds for web code. With Serena you can choose the best build execution engine for the task at hand, while maintining a unified build management process.
