Daily Build
Allowing software developers to automate their daily build procedure

What does it do?

Daily Build's purpose is to allow software developers to fully automate their build process. Daily Build makes it easy to set up and maintain your build process, allowing anyone on the team to create your entire product in just one click. Daily Build will be able to simplify and speed up your build process if your product is...

• Made up of many components.
• Written using more than one programming language.
• Requires custom build configurations for different projects.
• Uses a help file or needs documentation to be built.
• Contains data files that need collecting, generating or processing.
• Needs an installer to be built.

Easy to maintain

Maintaining your build process by using dos batch files is difficult and frequently has poor (or even non-existent) error handling. Relying on a team member to remember all the steps is also error prone and can lead to serious problems if that team member leaves or is ill at a critical point in the project. 

• Daily Build makes maintenance easy via its easy to use interface.
• Daily Build automatically detects errors in your build process and can even e-mail staff members when problems are found.

Automatically build entire projects

Daily build supports the Windows Scheduler so you can automatically build entire projects on a regular basis. Use Daily Build to rebuild your entire project every night and email developers and QA staff with details of where to find the installer for the lastest version.

Supports almost any tool?

Daily builds will work with any tool that can be controlled from the command line. Almost all developer tools support some kind of command line interface, and Daily Build gives you full control over setting up the tools you depend on.
