SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ON- DEMAND DEPLOYMENT OF SOFTWARE BUILD AND TEST ENVIRONMENTS

Systems and methods are described that allow for the dynamic allocation and re-allocation of hardware and software resources to support the build, integration, and test phases of complex software development projects. The invention provides customers who have medium to large development teams, which may be geographically distributed, with an integrated development environment, which includes centralized governance of software code repositories, build systems and test systems. Embodiments of the invention include a centralized, scalable, and dynamic system architecture which allows customers to (1) replicate the internal build, integrate, and test environments that were previously used on the customer premises, (2) provision and re-provision such resources on demand, and (3) seamlessly integrate their internal environments with the system described herein.
