BuildForge, Inc. today announced the availability of the BuildForge Adaptor for Rational ClearCase?, an integration between BuildForge's build and release automation offerings and IBM's Rational ClearCase Change Management Solution to provide a more streamlined development process for their joint customer base. The announcement was made at the 2004 IBM Rational Software Development User Conference being held in Grapevine, Texas.

Many software development organizations have recognized that the creation of standardized, repeatable, automated processes is essential to consistently deliver high quality products while controlling R and D costs. However, disparate tools and disconnected teams make these processes difficult to implement. The integration between BuildForge and Rational ClearCase creates a seamless, real-time link between a company's source control and build environments to help build teams troubleshoot and validate product releases more efficiently.
