Interview Questions for Build & Release Engineer

If you are preparing for an interview as Build & Release engineer position, you are reading the right blog. I received an email from a reader yesterday about it, therefore I decided to write down some questions.

During my 6 years of B&R experience, I have learnt that tools used for CM, Build management and scripting vary a lot in different corporations. You might be using InstallShield for deployment in one company and a simple MSBuild script in another. As a build & Release engineer you must master at least one scripting language- Perl, MSBuild or Shell. That is really helpful even if you are not currently working on any of these.

Regarding interview questions, I can think of following-

How do your handle upgrade scenario in InstallShield wizard? How can you prevent a product being downgraded while installation.
Can you write a custom action in VB/C# and integrate it with Installshield wizard?
How do you implement Continuous Integration using CruiseControl?
What are the things you change on your target system while deploying?
How can we migrate from one CM tool to another, say SVN to TFS?
Which one is a better Build Management tool- CruiseControl or Hudson? Why?

Please feel free to drop me a mail regarding any of these questions. Good Luck.

Standard build process using Make & Ant- Part 1

(Mostly, I interact with makefiles but I have always been interested in studying Make & Ant together. Here is the first post in the series)

A simple build can be started from a command line simply by executing 2 statements- one for compiling and another one for linking. But as the software grows and consist of many modules, dependencies get created and a sequence of commands are required to be executed. Additionally, we needed to add pre and post actions around the calls to the compilers such as a check-out from version control or copying of deployable objects to a test location.

Make & Ant make it happen in a standardized way. Ant does the same thing for Java environment what make does for C++. Ant is a platform-independent (like Java) scripting tool that lets you construct your build scripts using many built-in commends like delete, jar, get, mkdir, exec and copydir.

Another basic difference between Ant and Make is that Ant uses XML (build.xml) to describe the build process and its dependencies, whereas Make has its Makefile format.

Best approach to prepare install patch for an enterprise application

I will start with something I have worked on, then people can share their approaches. I worked in InstallShield PackageForWeb (A light weight version of InstallShield) to install patch of an enterprise application over a cluster of windows machines. I believe using an InstallShield product for installing is much easier and controllable then any other language like C#. Regarding the complex install script, I don't think we need to play with the script. Latest InstallShield provides pretty much user-friendly configurable mechanism which automatically generates the install script.

If your enterprise is too complex to be handled by general InstallShield settings and you feel the need to modify the install script but worried to mess it up. You can try this- Launch a separate script written in any Windows Automation Languages (AutoIT or Auto Hotkey) during installation and let that script handle the rest. This approach is pretty useful because these windows automation scripting languages can do anything with windows we can think of, I mean anything. I have successfully tried this approach for over 2 years. Suggestions are welcome .
