VersionOne tunes agile ALM platform

18.01.2007
will bolster its application lifecycle management platform for users of agile development methodologies on Thursday, adding customization and simplification.

The Winter 2007 edition of the company's V1: Agile Enterprise system adds custom fields, enabling customers to define their own unique fields for data capture.

"They may want to capture a [software] build number or a specific ID number that we don't necessarily capture as one of our primary attributes," said Robert Holler, president and CEO of VersionOne. Customers could add fields to represent elements such as a customer name or a document.

Windows security is leveraged in the Winter 2007 edition as well. Users can enter their Windows domain username and password for authentication to V1: Agile Enterprise.

An acceptance test framework in the new release integrates external test suites. Results of those tests can be fed into VersionOne's system.

Also new in the upgrade is a templates feature that can generate task and test lists. A feature planner capability provides a single page for editing and viewing tasks, tests, and estimates for a software feature.
