Software Developers: Learn from Your Code with New Atlassian FishEye 1.5 and Crucible 1.5

Products offer improved stats for developer productivity
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Atlassian today announced the release of Crucible 1.5 and FishEye
1.5. Both products work closely together, with FishEye enabling
programmers to search, share, analyse and monitor their source code
repository. Crucible builds on FishEye's capabilities to provide
lightweight peer code review. The latest versions of FishEye and
Crucible include improved statistical analysis, as well as
customisable charts and pages, giving both products a sleeker look
while improving a company's productivity.

The earlier bugs are detected, the cheaper they are to fix. In
code review, defects are found before being shipped to the customer,
saving both time and money. Crucible 1.5 includes additional
statistical analysis to help improve a development team's efficiency
and productivity. It shows the number of defects per week and per
review as well as who is good at finding defects, who is committing
the most defects and the type of defects being produced. In short,
Crucible allows process managers to start measuring the benefit -- and
cost -- of their review process.

"The latest features in Crucible offer an awesome bit of eye
candy. Combined with FishEye's newest feature that shows how much each
author has contributed to the code base over time, we're able to
provide customers with a much greater level of detail. Before, there
was no way to look at your source base over time. Now you can see who
wrote the code over time and who is committing the most defects, data
which ultimately helps business better manage their deliverables,"
notes Pete Moore, Product Team Lead for FishEye and Crucible.

FishEye and Crucible now allow for further customisation.
Highlights include:

-- Root Page Customisation: Configurable welcome and support
messages shown in the opening screen in FishEye

-- Customisable Email Templates: Crucible users can now receive
emails with customised content and appearance

-- Per-project pages and Improved Searching: see changelogs in
Crucible and open reviews that belong to a given project, in
one place

About FishEye and Crucible

Crucible and FishEye make distributed software development easier
by making information more accessible and reinforcing workflow.
FishEye opens up source code repository helping developers make sense
of information that is not typically easy to extract, comprehend or
keep updated. FishEye is the recipient of the 2008 JOLT Award for
Change and Configuration Management. Crucible makes it easy for
development teams to review code changes, make comments and record
outcomes in an efficient, distributed and process-neutral way.
Developers can perform code reviews independently, making it an
excellent tool for distributed development teams, especially where
outsourcing or offshoring is involved.

Crucible and FishEye were originally developed by Cenqua, which
was acquired by Atlassian in August 2007. Nearly 200 organisations
rely on Crucible for efficient code review and over 1200 use FishEye
to monitor, search and analyse their source code repository. Customers
include BP, DaimlerChrysler, GE, NEC, Pfizer, and Sony. Both products
are competitively priced, making the software affordable for small
businesses as well as the world's largest enterprises. Pricing starts
at $1,200 for a 10 user license. For more information, visit:
