CM First is Proud to Announce the Latest Release of CM MatchPoint ALM Available Now

Top-rated application lifecycle management solution, CM MatchPoint ALM, offers new features and capabilities in its latest release, CM MatchPoint ALM 6.1, available now. This cross-platform product offers end-to-end governance of software change processes and the ability to manage change from any device. Designed to support IBM i and CA Plex environments, change management is now easier and more flexible, allowing support teams to work on any device, anywhere in the world.

“CM First is excited to offer new automation capabilities as well as better versioning controls,” said Jason Olsen, Product Developer. “Customers have asked for a fix to copy model extracts and that has been included as well.”

CM MatchPoint ALM 6.1 includes the following enhancements:

• SVN Connector: Added functionality to the SVN (Apache Subversion) connector to maintain the CA Plex Group model with the SVN Repository. With this new functionality, CM MatchPoint ALM can use a subversion repository to control the Group Model versioning. It also automates the process of extracting and updating group models managed with subversion. The SVN Connector allows developers to have a subversion repository for the local models.

Note: the SVN server and Subversion Tortoise Client with command line utility 1.9.5 or higher must be installed in order to support this

• Auto-Generation: The new module allows developers to generate and build for the C++, C# and Java platforms automatically without supervision. This can be a standalone process or integrated with the CM MatchPoint ALM Ticketing system to generate and build CA Plex objects automatically. This module is useful for a long unattended generation and build process.
