When software projects grow, become more complex and exist in several different configurations, the requirements to build process and version/release management quickly arise, which bind resources on the core developers. They so become challenged with an considerable amount of meta tasks additional to the actual core development, expensive resources are bound from the product development.
In such situations it might be advisable to use the expertise of an external consultant, who takes the burden of release and configuration management from the core development team.
In that area metux IT serivice provides eg. these services:
- Management (setup, maintenance, customer specific configuration, training) of revision control systems (git, subversion, cvs, u.v.m) and issue trackers (Bugzilla, Trac, u.v.m.)
- Branch and release management up to automatic build and packaging to different target platforms
- Automatic and integrative build management, testing and code integrity checks (eg. using our own metux System Builder)
- Workflow optimization in the development process
- Platform specific ports and optimization
