AccuRev Launches New Atlassian Crucible Integration

Allowing its users to launch a Crucible review within the AccuRev Web User Interface, AccuRev announced integration for Crucible, a code review tool from Atlassian. This integration helps the users to optimize the software development process by using the integrated power of AccuRev and Crucible.

While reviewing a code, quick detection of defects leads to reducing the cost of defect removal and reducing rework. To ensure that developers proactively focus on quality, the code review process is an effective way to capture software defects early in the application lifecycle.

Based on specific files and versions selected by the user, AccuBridge for Atlassian Crucible allows for a Crucible code review. AccuRev offers comprehensive solutions for successfully scaling Agile (News - Alert) processes across the enterprise

“Software teams are adding code review to their processes in order to improve overall product quality, and we have seen tremendous interest in our customer base to provide deep integration between AccuRev software and Crucible,” said Damon Poole, AccuRev CTO, in a press release. “We are confident that AccuBridge for Atlassian Crucible will dramatically improve the overall software development process,” continued Poole.

Benefits of this AccuRev and Crucible integration include less need for coordination for code review meetings with specific time and place; and support for workflow, e-mail notifications and initiating reviews within the AccuRev Web User Interface. Crucible provides a centralized way for development teams to review code as code review is a proven way to improve software quality, the company stated. AccuRev is a full-service partner for Agile software, consulting and training solutions.

In May 2008, the company announced that PacketVideo (News - Alert) (PV), the software company powering the world’s leading mobile multimedia services, has standardized on AccuRev for Process-centric software configuration management (SCM) to enhance the efficiency and collaboration of its worldwide development organization. Before making its decision on a solution, PV conducted an exhaustive evaluation of the leading SCM solutions to replace its existing SCCM tool.
