LEXINGTON, Mass. -- AccuRev Inc. today announced at SD Best Practices Boston its latest breakthrough in software configuration management (SCM), AccuRev 4.6, and two new partners that bolster the Company’s application lifecycle coverage and enterprise services reach.
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.”
