3 3 RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS The release incorporates new features that reinforce and expand the unique value of TeamForge, specifically: AGILITY Drive organizationwide development velocity using any software development methodology AGILE AT ENTERPRISE SCALE New collaboration and productivity-enhancing options including the following: Newly redesigned, customizable, productivity-enhancing My Workspace dashboard Support in comments to artifacts and work items The capacity to reuse artifacts across projects and trackers SOURCE CODE Achieve excellence in code management with any version control system distributed (Git), centralized (SVN), or both UNRIVALED ENTERPRISE VERSION CONTROL New Git functionality, as follows: Git LFS enhancements the capacity to define the maximum binary file size for LFS storage and to turn LFS on or off for a repository or per repository basis The ability to create and delete Git branches directly from the Code Browser UI Git commit cherry-picking Easily revert any code change using Code Browser UI EXTENSIBILITY Enable teams to leverage the right tools for the job without compromising governance and IP security A BROAD RANGE OF SUPPORTED BEST-OF-BREED TOOLS New integration with TestLink test case management Full implementation of Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to enable custom integrations and data exchange covering a variety of TeamForge objects 3

4 4 JJ AGILE AT ENTERPRISE SCALE Built on CollabNet s leadership in Agile training and consulting, TeamForge enables you to introduce Agile development practices in a way and at a pace that best fit your organization from empowering Agile teams to facilitating enterprise-wide Agile transformations. With TeamForge, you can adopt and scale the Agile methods of your choice Scrum, Kanban, or others and implement Agile throughout your entire application lifecycle, from planning (upstream) to deployment (downstream). NEW MY WORKSPACE Get the most important and relevant information at your fingertips with the newly redesigned My Workspace a gateway to your TeamForge projects, people, and activities. We have reimagined the dashboard to enable deeper customization and personalization. In addition to being able to pick your preferred layout, you can leverage a variety of configurable widgets to bring critical information to the fore and take action like zeroing in on specific artifacts or activities directly from the dashboard. Some examples of the widgets follow: y Project News presents updates and announcements published by project participants y Code Reviews a collection of widgets showing open code reviews, merged changes, code changes by team member, and others y Recent Projects and Repositories lists the places you visited recently with hyperlinks for easy access The redesigned My Workspace delivers the information you need the most in a configurable, actionable dashboard. 4

5 5 In upcoming releases, we will add more widgets to My Workspace so you can, for example, monitor relevant activities happening across the development lifecycle (Activity Streams) or stay on top of tasks, items awaiting your approval, and documents for you review effectively equipping you with all the information you need to be Collaborate more effectively by (an at symbol followed by a person s name) in comments to artifacts and work items. automatically generates a notification to the respective person and keeps him or her appraised of subsequent changes to the artifact(s). ARTIFACT CLONING Save time and effort with TeamForge s new capacity to reuse artifacts across projects and trackers. Copy an existing test case or defect to a new project rather than (re)creating it from scratch. JJ UNRIVALED ENTERPRISE VERSION CONTROL Created by CollabNet, the founder of Subversion and a major contributor to Git and Gerrit, TeamForge enables enterprises and government agencies to leverage the advantages of distributed (Git) or centralized (SVN) version control systems, while providing a better experience for developers and ensuring compliance, governance, and IP security across all source code-related activities. GIT LFS ENHANCEMENTS Version control large files such as audio, video, graphics, datasets, binaries, and other sizeable files used in web, gaming, and mobile application development, animation, multimedia, scientific research, and other projects with TeamForge. TeamForge enhances the platform s LFS configuration capabilities by enabling administrators to turn LFS on or off and define the maximum binary file size for LFS storage. GIT LFS An open source Git extension that allows large-file versioning In LFS, large files are replaced with text pointers inside a Git repo, while the actual file content is stored on a separate server TeamForge is the first commercial solution that delivers Git LFS support for Gerrit users 5

6 6 EASY CREATION AND DELETION OF BRANCHES Quickly create new or delete existing branches directly from the TeamForge code browser s easy-touse interface. TeamForge enables the addition or removal of Git branches in just two clicks. 6

7 7 COMMIT CHERRY-PICKING Increase development velocity and improve code quality with TeamForge s new capacity to copy and paste code changes from one branch to the other (instead of manually recreating them for each pertinent branch). Whether you need to apply a common bug fix to multiple branches or move select code changes between branches, commit cherry-picking saves time, helps avoid the introduction of unwanted defects, and makes it easier to locate and fix errors. CODE-CHANGE REVERSAL Undo undesired and problematic code changes speedily and effectively. To cancel a code change, TeamForge creates a new commit that reverses any and all changes introduced by the original commit all while keeping a record of both of the commits as part of its continuous history logging. TeamForge provides an easy way to reverse code changes. 7

8 8 JJ A BROAD RANGE OF SUPPORTED BEST-OF-BREED TOOLS TESTLINK INTEGRATION Accelerate innovation, increase development velocity, and drive down costs with a TeamForgeintegrated toolchain of leading open source and commercial tools. TeamForge uniquely delivers end-to-end traceability across JIRA Software, TeamForge Version Control (Git and SVN), Jenkins, Chef, Nexus, and other best-in-class tools so you can safeguard code, streamline compliance, and ensure unprecedented visibility across your development pipeline. The new integration with TestLink (v or higher) brings TestLink test cases into the TeamForge traceability chain, linking related requirements, binaries, and test case runs for faster development and quality-issue resolution. TestLink Case Failure Build Defect Filed Commit Binary TestLink Test Case Executions Requirement Defect The integration enables automatic creation of TestLink Test Suites based on TeamForge Requirements and pushbutton filing of TeamForge Defects based on TestLink Test Case Run failures. REST APIs Integrate the tools and data you need with TeamForge s new REST API framework that covers the following TeamForge objects: Project/User y Instantiation/Administration y RBAC y Reporting y File releases y News y Tracker y Artifacts y Planning folders y Teams y Documents 8

9 9 The new features and capabilities of the release including Agile productivity enhancements, enterprise Git enrichments, integration with TestLink, and new REST APIs further extend TeamForge s capacity to help organizations accelerate application development and delivery, while maintaining compliance, governance, and IP security. 9
