AccuRev formally unveiled this week its AccuRev 4.6 for ClearCase product, enabling the AccuRev software change and configuration management (SCCM) system to co-exist in environments with the IBM Rational ClearCase software change management platform.

The AccuRev product provides bidirectional integration, said Cliff Utstein, AccuRev vice president of marketing. Users often need to have multiple SCCM systems under the same roof to accommodate different needs, according to Utstein.

“The benefit [of the integration] is in a ClearCase shop, they can now enable individual teams to choose the tool that best meets that team’s requirements,” Utstein said.

AccuRev’s product accommodates agile development practices and outsourced, distributed development, for example, while ClearCase is seen as the commercial market leader in the space and is for a larger scale of use, Utstein said.

Although only officially announced this week, AccuRev 4.6 for ClearCase actually has been shipping since November.
