Codefast Releases Industry's Only Build Automation and Management Solution With Comprehensive On-Demand Unified Dependency Management.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Codefast[TM], Inc., the first provider of object-oriented build automation and management solutions for development organizations, today announced the release of PerfectBuild 2007 - the industry's only build automation and management solution with comprehensive on-demand unified dependency management within a breakthrough graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to (GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. ). It reaches across platforms and projects to automatically discover and track dependencies at all levels (file, component and package) then displays them in a unified view. Impact analysis is then possible such as what-ifs, evolution, and other inquiries beyond simple reporting. "Build management is quickly becoming more critical to development groups deploying enterprise applications," said Robert Frances Group Vice President and Research Fellow Ron Exler. "Managing build-related dependencies has long been a tedious, error-prone, and oftentimes manual process. Automating this part of the process for complex deployment scenarios can significantly improve application quality and developer productivity." PerfectBuild is the first object-oriented toolset for build automation and management that gives development organizations the power to easily create and execute software builds, manage build related dependencies, and administer the entire software build environment. It can be used as a replacement solution for automating and managing the entire build operation or applied as a supplemental solution to address specific legacy issues. Developers can benefit with PerfectBuild Unified Dependency Management System (Unified - DMS (1) (Document Management System) See document management. (2) (Defense Messaging System) An X.500-compliant messaging system developed by the U.S. Dept. of Defense. ) in two ways. First, by automatically discovering dependencies in source files, PerfectBuild Unified -DMS alleviates developer responsibility for identifying dependencies. Additionally, repository based dependencies allow developers to see all associated dependencies for a project on demand enabling them to assess the potential impact of a change before it occurs. Major improvements in PerfectBuild's Unified - DMS include automation of a developer's build process in Visual Studio 6, 7, and 8 along with support for Java Ant and C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ Make based projects. "Most build failures are caused by inadequate dependency management," states Codefast CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Nick Berens. "Without PerfectBuild, responsibility for dependency management falls entirely on the individual developer. This amounts to manually updating references to account for changes in dependency relationships. This approach is problematic for several reasons. It relies on developers 'doing the right thing' and having a complete picture of all dependencies in the project. Admittedly, developers are only human and make mistakes. But, even worse, most developers have no idea what dependency relationships might exist outside of their workspace and legacy technologies such as Make and Ant do not provide a historical record easily accessible by developers."
