Vanward Announces New Version of Convergence(TM) - QA Dashboard.

RESTON, Va. -- Vanward Technologies, a subsidiary of JNetDirect Incorporated, announces the release of Convergence(TM) 2.2, a substantial upgrade to their Developer Quality Assurance Dashboard. New features include support for integrating the JIRA issue tracking system, enhanced Subversion CM support,

Convergence is for software development managers, architects, and developers who are dissatisfied with the traditionally limited view of quality as software is being constructed. The product is a quality management dashboard for the Java platform that enables tracking of application quality early in the software development life-cycle. Unlike static build reports, which convey limited information, Convergence tracks and relates multiple data points, enabling teams to understand and report on application quality through a unified focus. The product is essential for any company looking to manage the QA and software development process to deliver software better.

"Convergence's strength is its organization of project source code metrics and test results in a fashion that allows our customers to dig into their data and locate meaningful trends," stated Andrew Glover, CTO of JNetDirect. "With Convergence, we make it easier to track your source code's growth and the testing progress from build to build."

One of the key features of Convergence is the ability to easily integrate it into Maven or Ant based projects. The latest release of Convergence now bundles a sample project which demonstrates how to integrate both Ant and Maven. Additionally, a Convergence installer demo and Ant integration demo may be found at www.vanwardtechnologies.com. The product is offered on a per seat basis at an affordable price and is available to review via a free 30-day trial download.
