Pulse supports distributed builds out-of-the-box via build agents. Agents:

• Allow building on multiple machines in parallel.
• Can be used to test across multiple platforms.
• Can be assigned builds based on their capabilities.

Pulse supports testing your changes before you commit them via personal builds:

• Submit your local changes to Pulse directly for testing.
• If your changes break, nobody else is affected!
• Develop on one platform, then test on many before you commit.

Pulse has built-in support for project dependency management:

• Declare dependencies between your projects.
• Deliver built artifacts to downstream projects.
• Trigger builds when an upstream project changes.
• Built on Apache Ivy for interoperability.

Control access to your Pulse server using role-based security:

• Users are gathered into groups.
• Fine-grained permissions are assigned to groups.
• Access to projects and agents can be configured using ACLs.
• Integrate with existing LDAP users and groups.
