There may be some level of integration between ClearCase and your issue/defect tracking solution; however, it is not what you would consider to be an optimally efficient workflow. Person-years have been invested in ClearCase scripting and you have an automated build process with a set schedule. While the process is fairly rigid, it does work. You are outsourcing more and more of your engineering, and you need to improve productivity for your outsourced and remote teams.
Top 5 Reasons for Migrating from ClearCase to AccuRev Today
"As a strong ClearCase administrator, I find AccuRev to be an exceptional SCM tool for parallel development. AccuRev has taken the ideas of stream hierarchy and inheritance first developed by ClearCase and implemented them in a user friendly GUI environment that doesn’t require senior SCM experience to understand. Setting up a project in AccuRev to support code promotion takes a fraction of the time it took in ClearCase. The notion of change packages not only supports bi-directional tracking for requirements management it allows for the easy removal of a change from a baseline. AccuRev is the first commercial SCM tool used at NCGR. The shift from a simple developer version control tool to a full SCM solution is often a painful process. There has been no such pain in our shift to AccuRev. In fact developers have touted the praise of AccuRev such that those projects not yet in AccuRev are asking the question, 'When do we get to come into AccuRev?'"
- Terri L Gomez, SCM Engineer, National Center for Genome Resources

SCM White Paper: The AccuRev Advantage over ClearCase |
| "With AccuRev, a new intermediate stream is a near-trivial matter of right-clicking a new stream and dragging the existing stream (or workspace) under the new stream. The pain of ClearCase config specs is a dim memory." Chris Walquist |
