Updated Versions of Popular Products Provide Key Capabilities that
Better Enable Companies to Develop High-Quality Software
MASON, Ohio----Seapine Software, Inc., a global provider of quality-centric application
lifecycle management (ALM) solutions, today announced TestTrack Studio
2008, a powerful software test management solution, and Surround SCM
2008, a highly-flexible software configuration management solution. The
announcement of these updates to Seapine’s
popular ALM portfolio was made at CMP Media’s
SD Best Practices in Boston, where Seapine Software is a major
exhibitor. “Our customers are extremely
quality-driven and are looking for seamlessly integrated development
tools that automate their repetitive processes to improve efficiency,”
said Richard Riccetti, president and CEO, Seapine Software. “The
2008 versions of TestTrack Studio and Surround SCM offer more
automation, additional data organization options, and tighter
integration than prior releases and also better address the needs of
distributed development teams.”
Efficiency through Automation and Improved Organization
Workflow automation in TestTrack Studio 2008 is even more flexible, with
automatic escalation rules to ensure critical issues receive timely
attention, and event-based triggers that can send emails, modify data,
and execute external applications. TestTrack Studio 2008 also includes a
number of new features to keep teams organized and able to find
information faster. Folders provide the perfect system to hierarchically
organize issues, test cases, and test runs, while tabbed views enable
quickly switching between list windows with different pre-defined
queries and column layouts. And, finding issues in a large database is
easier than ever with type ahead searching.
Faster Distributed Development
Distributed development teams are now the norm and fast access to
digital assets, including source code, design documents, and test data
is essential to productivity. Surround SCM 2008’s
new proxy server improves performance of file retrievals for distributed
teams by caching recently accessed files. Innovative pre-caching of new
file versions is unique to Surround SCM’s
proxy server. The result is fast access to files from any location in
the world.
Better Integration into the Development Lifecycle
Improved integration between TestTrack Studio 2008 and Surround SCM 2008
lets developers easily manage the inherent relationship between issues
and resulting source code changes. A rewritten Visual Studio 2005
plug-in makes Surround SCM 2008 a first-class source control citizen in
Microsoft’s industry-standard integrated
development environment.
“With each iteration of our product releases,
we strive to make them more powerful, yet more transparent to end users,”
said Paula Rome, director of product management, Seapine Software. “Our
customers want to focus on design, coding, and shipping products, with
the confidence our tools are working behind the scenes to help them
manage software quality. That’s been a
principle focus of our 2008 products.”
Availability and Licensing
TestTrack Studio 2008 and Surround SCM 2008 are expected to ship in
early October 2007 and will be available for Microsoft Windows®,
Linux®, Sun Solaris®,
and Apple Macintosh® operating systems.
Licensed TestTrack Studio and Surround SCM users with active support
plans are eligible for free upgrades.
