Last updated on Mar 19, 2024 Incredibuild has numerous benefits that will drastically increase your work space productivity:
  • Accelerate process execution and diminish wait times for practically any concurrent, time-consuming execution which requires a CPU, such as compiling code, assets creation, continuous delivery builds and more
  • Implementing Incredibuild is instantaneous, requires no changes to source code, no additional hardware,and no change to your current set-up.
  • Incredibuild’s build visualization tool has many advantages for tracking historical executions, easily detecting errors and bottlenecks and much more.
In addition to the overall benefits of Incredibuild product, there are specific benefits to the use of Incredibuild:
  • Easy integration with existing code and scripts - Incredibuild does not no require you to make any changes to existing source code or build scripts. All you need to do is adding the Incredibuild command (ib_console) before your original build command, and instructing your tool (whether a build tool, test script, or any other tool) to run a large number of tasks in parallel.For example, when using xcodebuild, enter a high value for the -jobs flag, and run your build.
  • Usage of different build tools and applications in one distribution Environment - Incredibuild can be used in a heterogeneous environment of build tools and applications.
  • Easy incorporation of additional commercial or homegrown build tools - Incredibuild is a generic all-inclusive platform. By default, Incredibuild provides support for many common build tools.
  • Execution of multiple builds simultaneously on the same machine - Incredibuild allows two or more developers to build on the same machine at the same time. For example, on a machine with 16 cores, 4 builds can be run simultaneously, while each build uses 4 cores.
  • Easy generation of predefined and customized Reports - Incredibuild provides you with a Report module, which analyzes the execution of builds and allows you to gain valuable information, such as:
    • Detect anomalies during continuous integration, by comparing a known stable build with a continuous or nightly build.
    • Query Incredibuild database as part of your CI scripts, to automatically discover “red flags”, like:
      • Some tasks are taking longer than expected.
      • Too many tasks are being executed.
      • StdErr is different than a benchmark build.
