Build Automation

Create and run build tasks using a standard programming interface

Use the build tool to create and run build tasks, such as identifying code issues, running tests, and packaging a toolbox.

You can create a plan with your tasks and task dependencies in a single build file, and then invoke the build tool to run the plan. To get started, see Overview of MATLAB Build Tool.

Functions

`buildplan`	Create build plan
`buildtool`	Invoke build tool

Classes

`matlab.buildtool.Plan`	Fundamental interface for defining a build
`matlab.buildtool.Task`	Single unit of work in a build
`matlab.buildtool.TaskAction`	Action performed when task runs
`matlab.buildtool.TaskContext`	Context provided when task runs
`matlab.buildtool.TaskResult`	Result of running a task
`matlab.buildtool.BuildResult`	Result of running a build
`matlab.buildtool.io.FileCollection`	Collection of files and folders

Topics

Overview of MATLAB Build Tool
Use the build tool to define and run a build.
Create and Run Tasks Using Build Tool
Create a plan using a main function and local task functions in a build file. Then, plot dependencies and run the tasks with the build tool.
Create and Run Tasks That Accept Arguments
Create build tasks that accept arguments for customizing their actions. Then, run the tasks with the build tool.
Improve Performance with Incremental Builds
Run builds more efficiently by specifying task inputs and outputs.
