AccuRev and Electric Cloud Host Austin and Dallas IT Seminars:
Optimizing Your Development, Build and Release Processes
Analyzing and Eradicating the Leading Causes of Build and Release Management Failure
Austin and Dallas, Texas, September 9, 2008 – AccuRev Inc. and Electric Cloud, Inc. today announced seminars in Austin and Dallas, Texas aimed at solving the most significant challenges to effectively managing the build and release management process of software development.
An increase in integrated applications and their dependencies, more diverse and complex software supply chains, and customer-facing software are causing chaos and driving demand for improved build and release management processes. Common complaints this complex environment elicits from development organizations include:
- Waiting for slow builds and tests;
- Time wasted on script-intensive, manual systems;
- Multiple, disconnected build and test systems across locations;
- Home-built systems that are brittle, error-prone, and don't scale; and
- Delayed releases due to broken builds.
In addition to an interactive roundtable discussion with peers, these seminars will provide an analysis of the underlying causes of build and release process bottlenecks, as well as the real impact these issues are having on software development productivity and time to market. Attendees will leave the seminars with a better understanding of the leading causes of build and release management failure, and how to best implement some best practices for eradicating them.
