Working with CodeArts Build

A build process compiles source code into one or more object files, and packages those outputs together with configuration and resource files.

CodeArts Build streamlines this process by offering an easy-to-use, cloud-based build platform that supports multiple programming languages. Developers can create, configure, and run build tasks with just a few clicks, and check build status in real time. By automating build stages, from code retrieval to compilation and packaging, CodeArts Build equips enterprises with an efficient path to continuous delivery.

CodeArts Build is a service provided within the CodeArts solution. For details about its role in the solution, see CodeArts Architecture.
