(Read more about AccuRev’s two new partners announced today at http://www.accurev.com/accurev-news.html).
AccuRev 4.6 will debut new functionality that addresses the productivity requirements of developers while meeting the process, visibility and cross-platform needs of managers. This release builds on AccuRev’s award-winning SCM solution for today’s complex software development problems by providing the following new features:
·
Change
Package Dependencies – This latest breakthrough in AccuRev change
packages enables developers, release engineers and team leads to visually
identify and manage the issue dependencies between code changes throughout the
AccuRev stream hierarchy. Issue dependency adds greater support for large scale
software projects spanning multiple teams.
·
VersionSlider – This new feature enables a
developer to quickly see how source code files have changed over time in a
dynamic, graphical display without the need to perform separate history,
annotate and diff operations on previous versions of files. Developers can
quickly perform code reviews, view file diffs and determine what changes were
made and when, just by adjusting the slider.
·
More
Flexible Symbolic Links – Enhancements to symbolic links help release
engineers to manage complex code and project dependencies in AccuRev by
supporting UNIX platforms and improving cross-platform capability to share files
across projects.
·
AccuWorkflow Enhancements– Development
teams now have the ability to define, design and ensure compliance with an
issue-based lifecycle workflow
directly within the AccuRev SCM tool. Teams can incorporate
and test new development processes, and can gradually update and improve their
existing process. The result is a unified view of project status, issue data,
and task assignments combined with the ability to manage releases through
compliant and flexible process integration. AccuWorkflow provides project level
management coupled with interfaces that allow individual contributors to see
their impact on the larger context of a release train.
Lorne Cooper, president and CEO, AccuRev said, “AccuRev
continues to solve the problems of today’s complex and changing software
development environments, bridging the needs of both developers and managers for
improved productivity with a lower total cost of ownership. Our focus remains to
offer more value than existing SCM tool sets for organizations with geographically
distributed and outsourced teams managing multiple releases in
parallel.”
