Advanced Lifecycle Management (ALM) Tools
There are complete suites for advanced life-cycle management (ALM) of the software development (there is a list here) and some advanced editions of your favorite IDE could offer most of the ALM tools needed for demanding collaborative software development projects (in a single environment).Also make sure to look here for the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the ALM Tools.
JIRA, JIRA plugins and Maybe More
If you do have the money, you could use a set of tools to support your software development. Some of them are free (as all good things in life). Some other aren't.Examples include:
- Issue tracker: Issues trend, tasks / actions management, risks, agile and crucible plugins, searches (by ID and custom searches), custom dashboards and exports.
- JIRA Agile (previously called GreenHoper plugin, now comes out-of-the-box): burn-down charts, task boards, planning boards, etc.: https://jira.critical.pt/browse/VISIONCENTER/?selectedTab=com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:greenhopper-project-panel-tab
- Code Reviews plugin: Crucible: https://crucible.critical.pt/cru/ATG-5#CFR-11408
- Test Management plugin: X-Ray, https://jira.critical.pt/browse/BFAFREND/?selectedTab=com.xpandit.plugins.xray:test-panel (also check BMS, NEO)
