Software developers face in increasing quantity and diversity of digital assets to manage during application development that must be managed during the product development lifecycle. To ensure fast development, these assets should ideally be accessible from all development tools.

Complete Software Configuration Management Solution

Surround SCM's bidirectional integration with TestTrack Pro give you complete traceability between defects, features, change requests, and source code changes. With integration between TestTrack Pro and Surround SCM you will always know what was modified in a project and why.

Link changelists or individual files to a TestTrack Pro issue.
Perform many SCM functions from TestTrack Pro, such as get, check in, check out, undo check out, view the file, or view the file's change history.
Linked source code files can be viewed and worked with from the issue's Source Code tab in TestTrack Pro. In addition to being able to link more files to the issue, you can view a file's change history without switching back to Surround SCM.
TestTrack Pro's SCM support extends to the workflow, letting you specify a workflow event to use when a source code file is checked in.
Surround SCM conforms to the Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (SCCI) standard and can be integrated with many Windows defect tracking tools, IDEs, and other applications.

Securely Store Automated Tests with Other Development Assets

Test scripts evolve just like application source code evolves. Surround SCM integrates with QA Wizard Pro to help you manage changes to test scripts and test data:

Versions scripts as your application changes.
Know who made changes to scripts, when, and what they were—critical in regulated environments.
Easily roll back to previous versions of scripts when script changes introduce automation failures related to script issues.
Securely store scripts with other development assets, such as requirements documents, test data, design documents, and source code.
