AccuRev Announces AccuRev 4.5 for Multivendor Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)

AccuRev, Inc. | 20 Sep 2006

AccuRev Inc. announces AccuRev® 4.5, its best-of-breed software configuration (SCM) solution. This release adds significant new functionality that improves both the security and compliance of applications development, and the productivity of geographically distributed, outsourced or parallel development teams. AccuRev 4.5 is designed to be at the core of a multivendor application lifecycle management (ALM) process through its enhanced AccuBridge SDK, combining process and issue-based SCM with leading IDEs and third-party lifecycle tools.

Bill Houglum, Director of Engineering at Birdstep Technology, stated, "Multivendor ALM significantly increases our ability to stay in control of our lifecycle environment and utilize the strongest tools in their respective category. With AccuRev at the center of our tool strategy, we have the optimal ALM platform for compliance and artifact traceability at the lowest total cost of ownership."

Jim Duggan, research vice president, Gartner, added, "Geographically distributed and outsourced development teams, parallel and service-oriented development are just a few of the increasingly exotic problems more prevalent today that require a more unified convergence of the lifecycle. Effective software configuration management tools are the glue that helps address these issues."

AccuRev 4.5 provides maximum customer control, without vendor lock-in and now provides additional value to organizations conducting:

Cross-platform, and component-based parallel development: 

New cross-stream links, cross-platform symbolic links, and workflow additions to change packages allow development teams to organize monolithic software architectures into independently versioned components and conduct component-based development in parallel with ground-breaking ease of administration.

Geographically distributed and outsourced development: 

AccuReplica™, for geographically distributed replication, has been enhanced to be over two times faster on average; per-file exclusive locking; new access control lists (ACL) inheritance; a new encrypted login and session model; and an enhanced administrative user interface provide a more secure platform for geographically distributed teams.

Multivendor Application Lifecycle Management (ALM): 

New performance and usability enhancements within AccuBridge for Eclipse™, AccuBridge for Visual Studio™, including 2005, and AccuBridge for Intelli-J IDEA™ plug-ins allow developers to more fully live within their IDE of choice. New centralized LDAP provisioning through AccuBridge for LDAP Provisioning™ is an add-on that allows for fine-grained access control of users and groups for team members in remote locations accessing a centralized directory service.
