Codic Software has released the latest version of its software change and configuration management (SCCM) offering, Plastic SCM 3.0, featuring new XMerge/XDiff 2.0 integrated toolset, which help software developers manage code refactoring.

It manages branch-per-task development with automated merging capabilities and helps developers deliver higher-quality code.

With integrated code review functionality, Plastic 3.0 makes it possible for development teams drive defect prevention within the SCM system by reviewing tasks/branches prior to merging them into the main line of code.

The offering introduces the Plastic SCM Explorer Shell Extension that allows developers to manage files in the Explorer format.

In addition, Plastic SCM 3.0 also features external data storage support to facilitate size reduction of the main Plastic SCM database. It includes new data importers to assist teams moving away from Subversion and Perforce legacy SCM systems.

Pablo Santos Luaces, CEO of Codice Software, said: "With all of the pressure on development teams to perform faster and deliver higher quality code, their development tools must facilitate productivity.

"This need for productivity drives our Plastic SCM roadmap of enhancements containing capabilities previously unheard of in the SCCM market."
