Abstract
A computer-executable mechanism captures code modifications for a computer-executable process from a development environment into build packages that may be deployed onto specified target environments with trace, audit, code compliance and rollback options from one single web portal. The mechanism supports build package code changes from different sources, automated test of the resulting build packages, and phantom source control of all packaged code base to reduce the burden on developers to manually source control code. The computer-executable mechanism supports a portal web server for building and deploying build packages to render user responses to configurable actions that may be passed on to a job sequencer to execute a series of jobs. A computer-executable roll-back mechanism takes a snapshot of the target environment prior to deployment of a build package so that a complete release rollback or an incremental release rollback may occur as needed.
