News Openmake from Catalyst Systems delivers re-use for application lifecycle management workflow
|
Catalyst Systems Corporation has just announced the general availability of a new version of Openmake, the advanced solution for centralizing and controlling
application lifecycle processes from source control management through build,
testing and deployment without the need for writing highly customized ALM
(application lifecycle management) scripts. Listen to a podcast discussion with Tracy Ragan and Patrick Egan about this release. Openmake 6.4.1.1 introduces a wide range of ALM adaptors, simplifying the process of defining a standardized ALM workflow. Openmake ALM adaptors allow organizations to define a standardized ALM process using a variety of ALM tools supported by diverse ALM vendors. According to Jim Duggan, research vice president at Gartner "Software that easily bridges diverse application lifecycle management tools will become increasingly important as organizations strive to meet IT compliance requirements by creating a repeatable development process." Included in the latest release of Openmake is interoperability with the Perforce Software Configuration Management solution as well as deployment adaptors supporting CA's Software Delivery. "The Perforce integration with Openmake provides our customers with more options in build management and ALM process workflow," said Nigel Chanter, chief operating officer of Perforce Software. "Helping customers who are looking to architect a clearly defined development process is a shared goal between Perforce and Catalyst Systems Corporation." Tracy Ragan, COO, Catalyst Systems states, "Openmake 6.4.1.1 represents a continuing evolution in interoperability between diverse ALM tool offerings and automated build management. Openmake 6.4.1.1 provides our end users with options for how they want to manage their ALM processes. Openmake simplifies the effort of standardizing development streams, allowing developers to choose their favorite ALM tools while incorporating a solid build management process-all without the need for writing costly homegrown scripts." Openmake's leading re-usable ALM framework allows developers to design re-usable ALM processes, minimizing the need for highly customized ad hoc ALM scripts such as Ant/XML scripts, Make Scripts, Check-in/Check-out scripts and deployment scripts. This re-use substantially reduces development costs, improves quality and mitigates the risk associated with manually-maintained, non re-usable ad hoc processes. Openmake 6.4.1.1 adds Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2005 to the list of supported development tools. Release 6.4.1.1 provides Visual Studio .Net 2005 dependency mining and reporting, which are particularly helpful for tracking and managing large .Net-based applications. Release 6.4.1.1 also provides added security features including LDAP support for organizations standardizing their security policies. Pricing & Availability Openmake 6.4.1.1 is available immediately, with prices starting at $50 USD for lifecycle automation-only seats to $350 USD for full build automation seats.
