CVS Suite helps you manage change, however changes usually occur for a reason. Productivity and many of the other benefits of versioning are a result of not merely tracking change but tracking the relationship between the trigger for the change and the changes themselves. CVS Suite makes it easy to track not just what chaged, but why. Buy now for $157.

Change Sets.By specifying which job or bug number your changes relate to when you begin work, you can group your changes into change sets. These are then automatically linked to the job or bug number inside Bugzilla.

Change Sets

Change sets allow you do logically group your work by job or bug number. These change sets can then be used to commit finalised work while leaving files for other jobs untouched. Using the Tortoise Commit screen you can easily see which files are associated with which job or bug numbers, and commit only the work you are ready to. Once the commit is complete the CVS Suite Bugzilla integration can automatically record the details of your changes against the job, including the commit message and patch file.

Simple to Set Up. Configuring your CVSNT server to link to the Bugzilla defect tracking system is as simple as a couple of clicks. You can even link each change to a patch stored right inside the defect.

Simple to Set Up

Configuring the integration with Bugzilla on the server is very simple to set up. Enable the plugin and decide how much information you want linked between your CVS Suite versioning system and your Bugzilla defect tracking system. Your server is instantly integrated with the Bugzilla database on the same server.

Bugzilla Attachments. By configuring the CVS Suite Bugzilla Integration to store commit deltas as attachments, you can view patches as diffs right within Bugzilla.

Bugzilla Attachments

CVSNT Server will always keep a memory of the changes to files that your store in your repository. However you may also want to keep a record of the patches inside the defect tracking system. Bugzilla automatically recognises the CVSNT patches and identifies them in the log. Clicking on any patch shows it in a clear side-by-side format for review by your peers.

Bugzilla Comments. The same comments that are applied to the change on the workstation are recorded against the bug in Bugzilla. The username comes directly from the authentication mechanism used by the client.

Automatic Comments

CVS Suite Bugzilla Integration automatically handles the entry of comments into the bug at the server - there is no longer a need to double up on entering the same information into two systems.

Private Comments

Each automatic comment can be automatically marked as private so external users of your defect tracking system cannot see the developer comments.

Notification

Any Bugzilla user can subscribe to a defect and be automatically notified when updates the bug are made, even automatic updates via CVS Suite Bugzilla Integration.
