SpringSource creates all-in-one cloud-based ALM

SpringSource kicked off its annual SpringOne 2GX conference in Chicago today, and with it came the announcement of a new ALM service from the company. Developed in conjunction with Tasktop, the new service will be called Code2Cloud, and it is aimed at filling in the gaps left by existing ALM tools.
Code2Cloud will be hosted by Tasktop, but it has been designed from the ground up to cater to Spring developers. Users interested in the service will be able to sign up for a subscription that will give them access to issue tracking, SCM, and tools to automate continuous integration operations with cloud deployment environments.
Based on Eclipse and Mylyn, the Code2Cloud service will be arriving for early beta users later this year. A subscription price has not yet been decided upon.
Rod Johnson, general manager of the SpringSource division of VMware, said that Code2Cloud was built to fill in gaps in ALM that he said remain in the development life cycle despite years of new tools.
“When we think about the application life cycle, there really is a gap in the middle. This gap is a missing link we see in developer application life-cycle technologies overall," he said.
“I've created my application, but where do I do things like store my source code? Where do I host my issue tracker? Where do I ensure my continuous integration and testing is going to run?” Johnson said that these tasks can all be hosted and performed within Code2Cloud.
Dave West, principal analyst at Forrester Research, said that Johnson isn't strictly correct about this gap, as ALM tools do exist for every part of the process. What Johnson really means, said West, is that SpringSource and VMware will be offering the first hosted ALM service with everything in one place.
“I think that getting it all in one place, and having it all available as a task-based workflow, is unique," he said. "JIRA is not hosted. People do host it for you, and also the guys at Atlassian have built some great integrations with Hudson and Cruise Control. You can bring all these pieces together from all these places if you want. But I think what Johnson means is that this is a one-stop shop where you can go and get it all."
