AccuBridge™ for Visual Studio® provides developers and release engineers with an out-of-the-box robust integration between AccuRev® software and industry-leading Microsoft Visual Studio. 

AccuBridge for Visual Studio 2005, which implements the SCC provider interfaces that are part of the Visual Studio 2005 Package Technology (VSPT), allows developers to access more AccuRev functionality directly within their familiar Visual Studio 2005 interface.

Combining Visual Studio with the power of AccuRev in a single integrated development environment increases the agility, reliability, and quality of your distributed, parallel and Agile software development process.

The Power of AccuRev

AccuRev provides best-of-breed software change and configuration management (SCCM) with a flexible and efficient approach to managing the software release process together with code assets in a seamless manner using any preferred development process model (e.g., Scrum, Waterfall, Lean, XP, RUP, etc.). The AccuRev solution is designed for today’s complex and changing software development environments, including geographically distributed and offshore development teams working on multiple releases in parallel. AccuRev ensures greater project visibility, optimal team collaboration, and software asset reuse to deliver more software at over 30 percent faster than traditional file-based, branch and label SCCM solutions. 

Integrate AccuRev and Visual Studio

AccuBridge for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 focuses on developer usability and developer productivity within the Microsoft Visual Studio environment. The integration provides developers with a full palette of AccuRev functionality without having to leave the familiar Microsoft Visual Studio environment. Microsoft Visual Studio developers gain transparent, stable, and highly functional SCM capabilities with stream-based process automation, software asset reuse, and private workspaces. Together, AccuRev and Microsoft Visual Studio are ideal for complex, geographically distributed, parallel and Agile application development.

AccuRev integrates deeply into your Visual Studio environment. You can perform AccuRev queries, execute operations, and see ToolTips showing the AccuRev status of every file in your solution.

Full integration between Microsoft Visual Studio and AccuRev change package functionality enables true issue-based engineering workflows. Developers benefit from the ability to manage an issue-based workflow in AccuRev, directly from the Microsoft Visual Studio client—utilizing any tool chosen from the large selection of issue and defect tracking solutions that can be integrated with AccuRev via AccuBridge.

AccuBridge for Microsoft Visual Studio enhances everyday productivity with numerous usability features. All common AccuRev searches are available from Microsoft Visual Studio so that developers, release engineers, and managers can query the AccuRev server for the latest source code changes. Actionable views of your AccuRev history data are now fully integrated in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment, providing powerful access to the rich versioning functionality of AccuRev SCM. And AccuBridge for Microsoft Visual Studio now ships as a true Visual Studio plug-in, and supports the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 platforms as well as earlier versions.
