DATASHEET

Maintain compliance, governance, and IP security standards and ensure software quality with unique end-to-end traceability and granular contextual associations between artifacts and activities across disparate tools, distributed teams, and diverse processes.

TeamForge automatically creates and archives audit logs and tracks activities, artifacts, and associations across all stages of the development lifecycle, including requirements, work items, commits, reviews, tests, and builds. When you add downstream tools to TeamForge, its traceability expands to encompass release, deployment, and operations-related events. The Associations Viewer visually connects related artifacts and activities and provides drilldown visibility into tools and data, enabling root cause analysis for faster issue resolution.
