# Best Build Automation Software - Page 4

*By [Adam Crivello](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/adam-crivello)*


Build automation software automates commonly performed tasks in the software development process. Tasks tend to be simple and repeatable, and include things such as compiling source code or running automated tests. Build automation software often integrates with software testing products, version control systems, IDEs, bug tracking tools, and PaaS providers.

To qualify for inclusion in the Build Automation category, a product must:

- Automate repetitive tasks in the software development process, such as compiling code or running tests
- Integrate with other development tools like version control systems, IDEs, or testing frameworks
- Support the creation and management of build pipelines to streamline development workflows
