AccuRev is a best-of-breed, process-centric software change and configuration management (SCCM) solution designed for today’s Agile, complex parallel, geographically distributed and offshore application development environments. AccuRev’s stream-based architecture has been designed to ensure optimal team collaboration, improve software asset reuse, and accelerate the software development process by 30 percent.
AccuRev enables and integrates any development process model (Agile, Waterfall, RUP, etc.) together with your software assets. Through this unique design, organizations are able to dynamically manage and adapt their application development processes to their changing business needs in a fraction of the time required with traditional tools. With AccuRev, developers can focus on solving business problems.
AccuRev simplifies the process of change request and task-based management with AccuWork, it’s fully integrated issue tracking and change management solution. Additionally, with AccuBridge integrations, third party tools are also fully supported.
Watch the 2-minute Demo – A great way to see how AccuRev can improve your development process by 30%.
Features and Benefits – Get details on the main features and benefits of AccuRev and learn why a simple feature-to-feature comparison to branch-based SCM solutions isn’t enough.
Why Change SCM Systems – When it’s time to change SCM tools, the question is whether to do a simple “tool upgrade,” or should the process constraints be addressed as well?
Compare AccuRev – AccuRev addresses the underlying architectural limitations of legacy branch and label-based SCM tools, enabling the optimization of your software development processes for more efficient parallel, geographically distributed, and agile development environments.
Customer Success Stories – Nobody articulates the value of AccuRev better than its customers. We commonly hear that AccuRev improves developer productivity, project traceability, code reusability and quality, as it allows development teams to be more self-managing, and makes more ways of working possible. AccuRev is not just an incremental SCM tool feature upgrade; but rather it solves the underlying architectural limitations of traditional branch and label-based SCM tools. This allows AccuRev to inherently optimize your software development process, and enable a more efficient parallel, geographically distributed, offshore and agile development environment.

Solving the Process Problem
Adapting to the significant changes in the application development landscape in recent years (Agile, SOA, Java, .NET, XP, SOX, etc.), has required development organizations to implement more advanced, agile, and rigorous process models in order to keep pace with changing market demands (time to market, cost containment, regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, team productivity, changing priorities, etc.) and the associated ever-evolving business requirements. The problem is that since legacy SCM architectures were designed to solve a fundamentally different problem, productivity and output suffer.
AccuRev uniquely enables you to control parallel development across multiple products, projects, releases, and time zones by providing fully-auditable dynamic process management. AccuRev builds on the workbench your development organization has established to support your development process and avoids the lock-in typical of monolithic single-vendor ALM suites.
Stream-based Architecture
The proven stream-based architecture of AccuRev is built specifically for today's agile, parallel, and geographically distributed software development environments. Legacy branch and label SCM tools impose constraints on your development processes due to limitations in their design. AccuRev's architecture is designed with a stream-based data model to optimize the flexibility, power, and ease of use for your optimal development processes. AccuRev is the only tool that fuses development processes with software assets, ensuring that your processes are realized and enforced in their entirety.Why Streams?
Streams form the architectural foundation for AccuRev in order to solve the fundamental problems associated with traditional file-based architectures, especially branching and merging operations. While streams are analogous to a combination of branches and process workflow (typically in a separate tool) in legacy systems, they are far more flexible and powerful, enabling unencumbered branching and merging operations. Today, streams, not files, must be the first-class objects in order to support advanced application development. Streams understand their process based relationships to other streams and include built-in inheritance, whereas branches do neither.
