VMware, a provider of virtualisation and cloud infrastructure, has launched an array of cloud-based development and collaboration tools aimed at simplifying the application development process.
The new Code2Cloud application was developed in partnership with Tasktop Technologies, a provider of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) integration offerings.
The company said that the new Code2Cloud removes the distractions of configuring development environments, setting up code repositories and continuous integration and incorporating issue tracking systems.
New development and collaboration suite will offer source control, continuous integration and issue tracking delivered as a Cloud service, fully integrated with the SpringSource Tool Suite IDE.
VMware said that its new offering builds on open source projects including Eclipse Mylyn task management, SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) IDE, Hudson continuous integration and Git source control.
Code2Cloud provides a new cloud-centric issue tracker that is compatible with the Bugzilla bug tracking system, as well as a dashboard for managing applications and development teams.
