Optimizing Your Development, Build and Release Processes.
Have your software development, build and release processes grown into a giant ball of homegrown scripts, effort, and wasted time? You're not alone. We've talked to thousands of development professionals and the most frequently heard complaints 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
  • Delayed releases due to broken builds

This  seminar is jointly presented by Electric Cloud, the leader in Software Production Management and AccuRev, the leading provider of software change and configuration management solutions.  In addition to an interactive roundtable discussion with peers, we 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 your productivity and time to market. We'll discuss solutions such as multi-stage continuous integration and build acceleration that have helped organizations such as McAfee, Intuit, LSI Logic, and Mercury Computer Systems to automate, accelerate, and optimize the build and release process, saving time, improving software quality, and realizing $100k-$2 million in cost savings each year.
