Revelation Software Concepts Announces Rev-Trac(R) Service Pack 2 With RT-QC Sync(TM) Adapter

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Revelation Software Concepts Pty Ltd (RSC), an SAP® software solution partner, today announced Rev-Trac® Service Pack 2, scheduled for general release in early May.  Service Pack 2 features streamlined OOPS (Overtake and Overwrite Protection System) reporting plus the first new Rev-Trac add-on to integrate Rev-Trac's powerful change control for SAP solutions with leading Quality Assurance providers.  

RSC's RT-QC Sync Adapter™ add-on addresses the market's growing need to integrate ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) components into change control processes as SAP solution-based information systems evolve toward multiple landscapes and mixed ABAP® and non-ABAP stacks.  By integrating ALM componentry into Rev-Trac's highly automated change control processes, companies realize fewer customization errors, less downtime, reduced risks and lower costs associated with accelerating system changes.

"Our customers increasingly want to assemble best-of-breed approaches to meet the management challenges of systems with more tightly interconnected components," noted David Drake, CEO and CTO of RSC. "Connecting Rev-Trac to industry-standard QA testing takes a significant step toward integration of best-of-breed ALM resources like QA, Testing and Impact Analysis into Rev-Trac's already highly automated and flexible change control processes."

"The RT-QC Sync Adapter demonstrates RSC's commitment to providing flexible linkages to the ALM components that work best for our customers," added Rick Porter, Vice President of Business Development. "No one has to try to reinvent an industry-standard approach, and the integration creates a smoothly interconnected process, not a disconnected series of point solutions. Technically and economically, it simply makes good sense."

Rev-Trac's powerful, highly configurable change control technology and the new RT-QC Sync Adapter together provide:

• A single, ready-made change control solution with automated and enforced testing analysis for code and configuration changes
• Increased visibility of testing requirements, testing scripts and test outcomes, all documented as part of Rev-Trac's audit-ready change control process
• Ability to enforce the documentation of test requirements and outcomes as part of the change control process
• Minimized customization errors, reduced system downtime and safe system change implementations
• Reduced risk and costs associated with changing SAP solution-based systems

In addition to providing the RT-QC Sync Adapter add-on, Service Pack 2 streamlines reporting of Rev-Trac's innovative Overtake and Overwrite Protection System (OOPS).  To prevent collisions between changes, which can be caused by inadvertent parallel development by separate teams, OOPS preemptively blocks potentially damaging migrations (overtakes and overwrites) before they can occur. Rev-Trac's OOPS continuously tracks the location of changes throughout a landscape, automatically monitoring the effects of copies, refreshes, restores and manual and automatic migrations.

As systems add new, non-ABAP stacks and additional landscapes, potential collisions can become more common and cause more frequent disruptions. The new, more streamlined OOPS interface places all collision warnings associated with a given change transport into a single report, helping team members identify and correct any problems.
