The Build Time Challenge

Long code and data builds have always been one of the biggest challenges a software team faces when trying to meet release deadlines. A team of 20 developers that daily compiles C/C++ code typically loses 100-150 developer work hours each month on time spent waiting for slow code builds alone.

Many software development teams also use additional time-consuming routine processes that complement the code build process, such as content or data builds, packaging, static code analysis and QA scripts. The end result is a significant loss of productivity and money.

IncrediBuild is a platform that helps solve the long build time bottleneck. IncrediBuild utilizes advanced Grid Computing technology to easily accelerate Microsoft Visual Studio builds, make-based processes, development scripts and other complex processes running on the Windows platform.
