Current status: CCF 1.5.1
• Bidirectional synchronization between HP ALM Defects and
Requirements with TeamForge Tracker Items and Planning
Folders including comments and attachments
• Parent/child relationships are synched as well
• Associations between TF artifacts can be synched to HP ALM
comments sections
• Bidirectionaly synchronization between ScrumWorks Pro
Products and TeamForge projects
• Used in production by a double digit number of CollabNet
customers for hundreds of thousands of artifacts
• HP‘s Printing division is using CCF with the largest QC
installation world wide
• HP Gold Partner Certified
• Featured in HP Software Universe 2010 Keynote

CCF: Key differentiators
• Constantly synching (not batch based)
• Changes come through within seconds not hours
• Does not rely on QC timestamps but real transactions
• Failed shipments are stored, can be analyzed and replayed
• No silent skipping of failed artifact shipments
• Auto replay rules for locked artifacts
• Real data is transferred (no OSLCish mash up)
• All connected tools (desktops, reporting engines, CI) can have
a look at the changes done in QC
• Users don‘t need to login into other tools
• Agile Open Source project with agile community
• Customers can always look at the source code and use it for
their own purposes
