AccuRev and Catalyst Systems Webinar with Uttam Narsu: Removing Manual Steps from Merge and Build Processes
AccuRev Inc. and Catalyst Systems announced an online Webinar taking place today at 2:00 p.m. EDT with keynote presentation by Uttam Narsu, former Giga/Forrester analyst and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) expert.
Lexington, MA, April 18, 2006 --(PR.com)-- AccuRev Inc. and Catalyst Systems today announced an online Webinar with keynote presentation by Uttam Narsu, former Giga/Forrester analyst and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) expert.
Uttam Narsu will kick-off AccuRev’s Spring Thought-Leadership Series on Software Development by explaining how to leverage best practices to address difficulties in development processes around build and release management.
Narsu said: “Most companies gaze longingly through a doorway, one leading to the promised land of build and release automation. They tremble, knowing that crossing that threshold is possible only when an organization — its culture, processes, and technology — is ready to accept the changes demanded by best practices.”
Narsu describes a seven-step process to implementing a scaleable best practices framework, and discusses such practices as: SCM planning, appropriate baselines, private workspaces, merge and integrate often, and absolute reproducibility of development artifacts.
Further presentations from Jim Graham and Brad Hart will show attendees how to reduce complex merges from days to minutes and create completely reusable and repeatable builds, while reducing ad hoc build processes.
Graham, a Sr. Developer with Catalyst Systems Corporation, will demonstrate how Openmake combines its leading Build Workflow technology with ALM process management to achieve reuse and consistency from build to release.
Hart, AccuRev’s Vice President of Technology, will highlight the unique ability of AccuRev to easily support complex branching and merging.
