AccuRev Inc. and Smart Bear Software today announced a technology partnership
designed to significantly improve software development process collaboration
and efficiency. The combined solution integrates the peer code review
functionality of Code Collaborator from Smart Bear with process-centric
software change and configuration management (SCCM) from AccuRev. This
integration enhances real-time collaboration for all software teams that
conduct code reviews, with particular benefits for those working on Agile,
geographically distributed, offshore or parallel projects.
The Smart Bear and AccuRev integration provides more visibility and control
over a collaborative development process, whether a development team is
separated by office walls or geographic boundaries. The combined solution
makes code review a natural extension of the software development process

As you start to scale a software development process it becomes apparent that
code and user stories have to be merged more frequently. Sometimes changes
may flow from one organization to another. This means that you will need to
take code from one team, merge, integrate and test those changes with
everyone. Each team needs to be able to work on its own schedule, this means
that if multiple teams want to work on different sized iterations they can.
It also means they can deliver changes as needed and on a regular basis,
independent of other teams.
To do this in a traditional Software Configuration Management system,
you’ll face two major problems.
You have to merge these code changes daily for them to be of any use. You
also still need to keep visibility into what stories are shared between
teams, because delivering changes from user stories that are not completed in... (more)

You might be asking yourself, “Why in the world would a company focused on
providing software development tools to enterprise organizations with
mission-critical software development environments produce a solution for an
open source version control tool?” I’ll tell you!
Git is increasing in popularity among developers working in small groups or
collaborating on open source projects. It’s fast, flexible, and full of
developer-friendly features. Git is a great tool for these smaller and more
social types of development projects, and based on discussions about Git with
customers, prospects, and analysts, it’s clear that there are more cas... (more)

network throughout Alaska, the Lower 48, Hawaii, Canada and Mexico. Known for
embracing innovative technology to improve the customer experience, Alaska
Airlines has won numerous awards for its frequent flyer program and eCommerce
Website.
Background
For years, Alaska Air used a file-based branch and label SCM tool that
required a lot of manual processes to prepare source code for deployment. The
processes worked but were time-consuming and were unable to support the
company's plans to move to Agile. Alaska Air conducted a thorough assessment
as it evaluated 18 SCM tools, six of which were brought in for more extensive
demos, and two finalists were invited in for pilot programs, one of which was
AccuRev.
The SCM solution had to meet several key requirements:
Most important, the tool had t... (more)
