simple setup :: Pulse feature tour
Pulse exposes a full web interface for both configuration and reporting and so creating a new project takes literally just minutes. Using a simple three-step wizard, you name your project, identify your SCM server and locate your build file:
Step 1: Project basics
Give your project a name and select the SCM server and project type.
Step 2: Enter your SCM server details
Configure your SCM server details. You can check the settings work without leaving the wizard by clicking on the "test these settings" link.
Step 3: Type-specific details
Configure the details of your specific project type. You can even browse the Pulse server's view of your SCM system to locate required build files.
Finished!
That's it! Your project is setup for continuous integration! Pulse creates a configuration for you with sensible defaults. Things work the way you expect right out of the box. For example: try checking in a change to your new project. Pulse will pick up the change and run an automatic build for you, without any additional configuration.
Advanced setups are still possible
Think that such a simple setup won't work for your project? Pulse caters for more complex projects by using a flexible build core. If your project doesn't fit a predefined project type, you can drop down to the flexible core to execute whatever you need. It's the best of both worlds.
