feature tour :: flexibility

Pulse employs a layered design to offer flexibility without complexity:

• Common tasks are all handled in the web interace.
• Complex builds can be configured at a lower level.
• Custom processing can be configured using regular expressions.

Your continuous integration server doesn't exist in a vacuum. Pulse integrates with:

• Bug trackers (e.g. Bugzilla, Jira).
• Change viewers (e.g. Fisheye, Trac, ViewVC).
• Version control/SCM servers (e.g. git, Perforce, Subversion).
• Existing LDAP infrastructure.

Continuous integration servers have to interact with many different tools. To do this in an extensible way, tool support in Pulse is pluggable:

• Built on the OSGi standard.
• Persistence is handled automatically.
• Configuration forms are automatically generated.

Use the comprehensive XML-RPC remote API to configure, monitor and control your Pulse server.

• Access all of your configuration.
• Trigger project builds.
• Query latest build results.
• Embed information from Pulse in other applications.
