• CollabNet TeamForge: Software Configuration Management





    Capabilities
    Features / Benefits
    Centralized server administration
    • Remove the barriers to getting a project up and developing by simplifying the process of creating a repository and setting up access.
    • Manage multiple project SCM servers together in one place; set up multiple servers to put developers close to their code and to more efficiently leverage hardware investments.
    • Optionally configure "unmanaged" SCM servers so user operations that call for changes on the server, such as the addition of a new user to a project, result in an administrative request for that change to be implemented manually. Site admins are informed via email, and can also find pending requests on their CollabNet TeamForge "My Page".

    Repository security
    • Easily manage SCM permissions right along with all the other permissions for the project via a rich role-based access control interface. Get new project members on board quickly, with all the right privileges.

    Traceability
    • Use CollabNet TeamForge's Association feature for full two-way traceability between code commits and all other artifacts and object types within CollabNet TeamForge.
    • Optionally configure project repositories to require an association on commit to enforce traceability.

    Integrated repository browser
    • Browse current or historical repository content and structure.

    SCM repository monitoring
    • Monitor Subversion and CVS repositories.
    • Receive instant e-mail notifications of changes, including who made the commit, the revision number, the revision comment, and links to view the commit in the CollabNet TeamForge repository browser.

    Generic SCM adapter
    • CollabNet TeamForge supports CVS, Perforce, and industry-leading Subversion out of the box.
    • Plug a different SCM server into CollabNet TeamForge with the Generic SCM adapter, to record commits in CollabNet TeamForge's central information repository, and gain the ability to browse those commit records right in the application and associate them with other objects.
    • Build integrations with IBM Rational ClearCase, Borland StarTeam, and others.

    Automatic versioning of project content
    • Automatically create Web space for test cases, project documentation, ALM process documentation, etc.
    • Easily undo changes and review history with automatic versioning.

    Improved control over product releases for release managers
    • Use a central location for posting and managing complete file release "packages" that can include releases beyond SCM release images including documents, notes and links to related items.
    • Easily publish and control approved releases, reducing guesswork and rework.
    • Use built-in workflow and milestone tracking.
    • Use access controls to limit visibility and availability of packages to individuals or user classes to avoid releases getting to inappropriate parties at the wrong time.
    • Keep track of release downloads and statistics.

    Improved release status communication
    • Receive automated emails when packages and releases are created or modified.
    • Use tracker to ensure testers and developers are working on the correct release.

    Build environment integration
    • Leverage integration-ready architecture for automated creation of release packages by integrating existing build tools such as Apache Ant.
    • Configure CruiseControl to automatically upload builds directly to CollabNet TeamForge's File Release System.
