Black Duck refines code search

26.10.2011

The new version also includes filtering technologies. It can filter results by the programming language, file names, method names, fields or a number of other attributes.

The software's ability to manage user roles has also been augmented. The software can now interface with user directories that can be accessed though the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Users can be assigned roles, and administrators can then set the permission levels to the roles. One member of a group could be designated as the indexer, for instance, and would have greater access to code from other parts of an organization.

The new version comes in three editions. A Free Personal Edition can index up to 500,000 lines of code. The Free Team Edition can index up to 5 million lines of code. The Enterprise Edition, which has no limit on the lines of code it can index, starts at US$9,500. The software is also a component of Black Duck Suite of development management tools.
