Even if your software doesn't need to be built or compiled, BuildMaster offers great benefits. Configuration file management, transferring only files that have changed, creating artifacts, and comparing source code to previous versions can be easily accomplished.
BuildMaster integrates with a variety of source control providers, and is extensible in this regard. Let BuildMaster pull from your provider of choice to get the files necessary deploy your website.
Transfer files between servers for simple deployment, with options to only transfer modified files, and to delete files that are no longer a part of the source directory. You may also exclude certain files and directories.
BuildMaster allows you to create artifacts of your source files and they will be associated with the specific build, which will facilitate deployment to later environments and rollbacks if necessary.
Most deployment through BuildMaster is done using agents, but BuildMaster also supports standard FTP methods to send files to, get files from, or delete files from a remote FTP server.
BuildMaster enables you to set up a file comparison report between two directories so you can see exactly which lines were changed.
Managing different versions of the same file depending on the environment it's in can be challenging. Let BuildMaster handle the change history, versioning, and deployment of these files for you.
By replacing values in a shared view or configuration file of your website with BuildMaster, your websites will always have matching versions using the BuildMaster release and build numbers.
BuildMaster helps relieve the pain associated with rollbacks by allowing you to redeploy older versions with ease.
