Urbancode’s AnthillPro is a complete platform for build & deployment automation that gives you consistent deployment across all your environments. AnthillPro allows you to use the same scripts across all your environments to avoid the late-breaking problem of manual deployments. Our binary promotion model and artifact repository ensure that you are using the exact same binaries from environment to environment. Integrated dependency management supports sophisticated relationships between projects. End-to-end traceability captures data throughout the lifecycle making audits painless. And our scalable server-agent model removes productivity bottlenecks for even the largest globally distributed organizations. The newest release includes integration with CollabNet TeamForge platform, allowing you to associate TeamForge artifacts with build and deployments across your testing, staging and production environments.
AnthillPro extends CollabNet collaboration and agile capabilities through:
Scalable automated builds — AnthillPro is an Enterprise Continuous Integration Server. Save time with builds that are run consistently and can be triggered to run automatically on every developer commit. Learn more about Enterprise Continuous Integration.
Reduce deployment failures — Slow, faulty manual deployments clogging the release pipeline? AnthillPro can help reduce those failures by up to 90% with deployment automation that gives you consistent deployment across all your environments.
Remove manual bottlenecks — Is your team waiting for “Bob the Builder” (or “Dan the Deployer”) to make the latest build available for testing? When your test guru is out is your test automation idle? Self-service automation means that anyone with the correct permissions can press a button and build, deploy, or perform other required actions without the waiting on a middleman.
Why AnthillPro and CollabNet?
In a CollabNet Agile scenario, AnthillPro can be used to automate Continuous Integration builds, nightly builds, automated unit or functional tests, deployments, releases, or any other process in the application lifecycle. And because AnthillPro has a distributed architecture, it can scale to support even the largest globally distributed organizations.
The integration between TeamForge and AnthillPro provides the association of all TeamForge artifacts that went into the build and the progress of that build throughout the lifecycle (test, staging, release, etc.); comment on those artifacts; provide a link from an artifact (defect, task, story) to a build; and file new artifacts.
You can also use the integration to take advantage of CollabNet TeamForge's release management features to create new TeamForge releases; upload AnthillPro artifacts, such as build and test results, to the TeamForge file release system (FRS); and upload a file to the FRS that links back to the build in AnthillPro.
The Subversion integration enables AnthillPro to check out code, access the change log and label the repository. AnthillPro also integrates with HP Quality Center, and provides more than 60 out-of-the-box tool integrations, along with a plugin system that allows you to add your own integrations.
Urbancode has over 400 customers using AnthillPro to automate their builds, deployments, tests and release processes. AnthillPro users come from companies of all sorts: Fortune 100 enterprises and feisty start-ups; technology companies and non-profit organizations that use technology to serve a greater good; large financial institutions and serious game developers.
