TestTrack Pro is a scaleable bug tracking solution for software developers that offers source-code control integration, ODBC database access, XML import/export, customisable fields and field relationships. Ohio-based Seapine Software believes its software will deliver timesaving features that will help keep everyone involved with the project informed and on schedule.

TestTrack Pro is a client/server application with client access from Windows and Web browsers and server support on Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X. Key features of the software include tools that help ensure bugs are discovered in the testing process. The development process is also kept flowing by allowing users to look up the current state of a defect at any time. E-mail notifications also help to ensure the team is kept up to date as defects are added or change state.

New features in version 5.1 include XSL-based reporting to produce trend and distribution reports as charts and graphs, providing the developer with a visual report on the state of the defect database. There’s also an improved workflow feature, Automatic Defect Routing, which gives the user the ability to define defect routing rules based on changes to a defect’s status and other criteria.

The ability to find defects by searching on customer-specific data has been improved, as has the ability to display a set of quick-link action buttons next to each record, making it easier to work with single records. The database administrator can now configure each user’s list display settings, including the default defect list filter. This means he can establish a default user profile as well as control how many columns each user sees.

TestTrack Pro integrates with Seapine Software’s other developer tools Surround SCM, Visual SourceSafe, ClearCase, PVCS, Perforce, CVS, StarTeam, SourceOffSite Classic, and CS-RCS source code control systems.
