Jolt AwardManage People, Process and Projects

With AccuWorkflow™, AccuRev drives its award-winning stream-based SCCM architecture beyond issue-based configuration management and into the realm of coordinated management of people, processes, and projects, to create a new model of collaborative workflow for software development teams within the core toolset used every day in software development.

AccuRev with AccuWorkflow is designed for teams of 20 or fewer developers that are using AccuWork for issue-tracking. AccuRev with AccuWorkflow breaks new ground in SCCM by embedding application lifecycle workflow directly within the SCM context. What streams did for configuration management, now streams do for software project collaboration. For issue-based development (e.g., change packages), AccuWorkflow provides deep integration of SCM and issue tracking which enables automatic workflow state transitions upon code promotion (e.g., check-in). Additionally, issue state transitions automatically promote files as specified in the SCM workflow. Through AccuBridge, this integration works with all leading issue tracking tools.

  • Define, design and ensure compliance with an issue-based lifecycle workflow directly within the SCM tool, or mirror your existing process
  • Fully integrated data repositories for SCM and third-party issue-tracking without any scripting required, with issues and SCM artifacts
  • Automatic workflow state transitions upon code promotion eliminates duplication of work and manual error prone steps for users (no scripting or triggers required)


The result is an ideal mix of project status, issue data, and task assignments and the ability to manage releases with compliant, but flexible, process integration. AccuWorkflow provides project level management coupled with interfaces that allow individual contributors to see their impact on the larger context of a release train, directly within AccuRev.

  • Point and click Dynamic Query Manager interface eliminates the need to collate the results of running multiple queries on multiple systems to view critical project data
  • Instantly determine what issues are assigned to a project, group, or individual for any stage in the workflow such as “work in progress” or “complete”
  • Easily assign and reassign work to other users, groups, or releases with drag-and-drop simplicity

  • Integrated single workflow for collaborative development
  • All SCM actions are automatically tied to issues and workflow ensuring process compliance
  • Eliminates the need for time-consuming scripting

AccuWorkflow builds on the tight integration of issue tracking with AccuRev , simplifying the process of issue and task-oriented management for Agile, geographically distributed and parallel software releases. AccuWorkflow, coupled with AccuRev’s sophisticated change package capability, optimizes SCM for release-centric issue-based engineering workflow. AccuWorkflow injects a compliant, traceable workflow interface for industry-leading issue tracking tools to support a flexibly-configured development process seamlessly within the routine daily code production and code management of a geographically distributed software development organization. Unlike other project and process and workflow lifecycle tools, AccuWorkflow’s project/issue streams track development productivity in its native context, in software configuration management, where the real work of software development gets done.

When used in conjunction with the AccuBridge products, AccuWorkflow works with all leading issue tracking tools providing the customer with the flexibility to choose whatever issue-tracking tool they want.

Representative Use Case


Role
Action
AccuWorkflow Automation
Team Lead
Views project status, triages issues, and assigns or reassigns these issues within visual SCM view Issues states are updated in issue tracking tool and developer’s SCM workspaces
Developer
 Promotes code changes into QA stream for verification Associated issues automatically change state to “complete”
QA Lead
Verifies code, and changes state of issue(s) to “verified.” Associated files are promoted to next SCM stream level, for e.g., “Gold.”
