What Is Oracle Visual Builder Studio?
Oracle Visual Builder Studio (VB Studio) is a robust application development platform that helps your team effectively plan and manage your work throughout all stages of the app dev lifecycle: design, build, test, and deploy. It makes it easy for your entire team to develop the artifacts they need, including:
- Oracle Cloud Applications developers, who need to create extensions to customize their Apps—like Human Capital Management, Supply Chain and Manufacturing, and so on—to meet their business needs.
- Low-code developers, who want to create responsive applications using a visual designer, then deploy them to their own version of Visual Builder.
- Experienced programmers, who want to modify the source code for applications created by others, or to develop bespoke apps using the web programming language of their choice.
Regardless of what type of developer you are—or if you're focused on managing the work that others are creating—everyone can take advantage of these key VB Studio features:
- A rich visual designer integrated with source control (Git) so that developers can manage changes, apply version control best practices, and collaborate with their teammates to develop applications
- The ability to build and display different flavors of the UI to meet the needs of discrete users of certain Oracle Cloud Applications (those built with VB Studio and Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (Oracle JET)), also within a Git framework
- Built-in repositories for hosting code in Git and for hosting binaries, such as Maven dependencies
- A continuous integration service so you can automate your build and test systems
- A continuous delivery service that tightly integrates with Oracle Cloud Applications
- Agile boards and an issue tracking system for tracking sprints, tasks, defects, and features
VB Studio enables developers to easily deploy their applications to their preferred target, whether it’s a staging or production instance of Oracle Cloud Applications, an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service instance, or a Visual Builder instance.
