"TestTrack allows us to define our workflow easily and make sure issues are closed out. It keeps our information in one place, and helps ensure that tasks and change requests flow between testing and development without losing anything else."

Software Configuration Management
Measurable, enforceable, and repeatable software configuration management and version control techniques are critical to delivering quality software products on time. Surround SCM with change automation, custom
metadata, and virtual branching delivers complete control over the software change process, a clearer view of
the state of files, and streamlines parallel development.
Flexible Software Configuration Management
Surround SCM is a full-featured configuration management solution that controls access to files and tracks changes over time. It combines advanced source code management
features, such as workflows and virtual branching, with a user-friendly
interface and integration with popular development
tools to help you manage your development effort.
Whether
your source code management needs include working with
multiple operating systems, remotely accessing files, or
managing changes to multiple product versions, Surround SCM keeps source files and other digital assets organized and
protected while tracking change across your organization.

Enable Parallel Development
Branching provides easy and effective management of source files throughout the development lifecycle. Surround SCM handles both complex and simple branching models with ease. Tailor Surround SCM’s virtual branching architecture to your development process. Surround SCM gives you complete control over security and access, promoting, rebasing, and versioning your changes.
Workspaces provide private branches for each team member, enabling the team to work independently and in parallel on a common code base. In addition, developers can integrate their private changes into the code base at any time—with a single mouse click. The latest quality-controlled build is always protected from changes downstream. |
Enforce and Track Your Change Process
While branching provides high-level control over the change process, Surround SCM’s workflow gives you much more granular control by enabling you to model your organization’s change processes and ensure your team follows them every time a file is added or change is made.
See beyond ‘checked in’ to know the true status of files in the change process. Use Surround SCM’s workflow to know whether a file you are including in the build has been code reviewed, ensure design documents have been through the review process, and control who can make changes to files after they have been reviewed and approved. |
Collaborate Across Teams
Surround SCM is a full-featured version manager that controls access to files and tracks changes over time. Its combination of advanced source code management with a user-friendly interface and strong integration with popular development tools accelerates your development efforts and facilitates team collaboration.
Surround SCM also fully integrates with TestTrack Pro, Seapine’s issue management solution, to keep the development process flowing. Easily link source code changes with defects, feature requests, and change requests, connecting your development and QA teams with real-time data. Your software development lifecycle will run smoothly and continuously from project to project. |
Robust Features
Surround SCM’s robust feature set includes bulk field changes, thumbnail image support, changelists and atomic transactions, LDAP and Active Directory support, shadow folders, defect linking, hyperlink access to files and branches, integration with a variety of IDEs and build tools, WebDAV support, and more. Team members can be given access to specific projects and versions of files. Automatic email notifications keep the team informed of changes when they occur.
Surround SCM tracks who, when, and what changed for every revision, provides complete control over your software configuration management process and helps your team deliver higher quality products faster. |
