AccuRev has integrated its best-of-breed Software Configuration Management (SCM) solution with Bugzilla, the open source defect tracking system. AccuRev and Bugzilla will work together to tie the daily work of an organization’s software development process to the issues managed in the issue tracking system. Utilizing the AccuBridge for Bugzilla, developers can perform routine Bugzilla defect resolution tasks within AccuRev or their IDE. The bi-directional integration between the Bugzilla database and the AccuRev SCM repository also allows developers to store and monitor AccuRev change package activity from within Bugzilla, improving the traceability of all development work.

“Bugzilla allows our team to easily track the status of changes made to the source code for feature enhancements and resolving bugs,” says Chris Geggis, Release Manager, Acopia Networks. “We selected AccuRev for its open support of various issue tracking tools and this integration appears to be an efficient method to continue working in our incumbent bug tracking tool until we require something more.”

Cliff Utstein, vice president of marketing, AccuRev says, “AccuRev currently supports all the leading commercial issue tracking tools, and this announcement coupled with our support of Eclipse and the Application Lifecycle Framework (ALF), further demonstrates our commitment to open source software and the open source community. AccuRev continues to provide the most powerful, agile and efficient SCM solution based on open standards to improve the productivity of our entire customer base and their preferred tools.”

AccuBridge for Bugzilla is available directly from AccuRev. Licensed users of AccuRev may obtain the integration at no additional charge.
