Electric Cloud's Software Production Management Solution Designed to Work the Way Developers Work

SUNNYVALE, California, February 16 - Electric Cloud(R), the leading provider of software production management
(SPM) solutions, today released ElectricCommander 3.5, a fully customizable
and extensible version of its tool for automating and managing the
build-test-deploy process in software development. Electric Cloud also
announced significant upgrades to ElectricAccelerator today
(www.electric-cloud.com/news/2010-0216a.php).

"Enterprise development organizations always have a wide range of
software production tools and processes in place," said Mike Maciag, CEO of
Electric Cloud. "Unfortunately they are typically disconnected, slow and each
has its own user interface, making it very difficult for developers to learn
and use."

The customizability of Commander 3.5 simplifies software production
management and removes the need for developers to learn and manage multiple
tools. For example, ElectricCommander 3.5 can be customized to extract and
display data from the defect tracker along with relevant build and test
results, so that build managers can easily track the status of each fix and
receive notification when the issue has been resolved by QA. All the
information they need is integrated into a single web page, letting them
track status at a glance. In another example, UI customization makes
developer self-service builds and tests a reality by providing release teams
or managers the ability to create a custom, dynamic screen that helps
developers create and execute a build or test request using the right
parameters. Developers then have an interface that requires no other
explanation because it is purpose-built for their role or environment.

"As a company we believe in solving these problems while enabling, not
forcing change in the way developers do their work," continued Maciag. "We
created ElectricCommander with this in mind; everything from the architecture
to the data model and reporting infrastructure are completely extensible. The
addition of an extensible UI means that all elements of the application now
easily slot into any development environment."

ElectricCommander automates and manages the error-prone, manual pieces of
the build-test-deploy process, making software production faster and more
efficient. ElectricCommander 3.5, available immediately, integrates
seamlessly into a development team's current environment with fully
customizable user interfaces (UIs), including dashboards and forms. Version
3.5 also provides the tools to create and share custom plug-ins for smoother
integration with application life cycle management tools, homegrown tools,
custom workflows, etc.
