Interoperability
Dimensions CM works with many popular application lifecycle tools straight out of the box, including Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), defect tracking, and test management tools. For example, you can easily associate code check-ins with defects (within Dimensions or Serena Issue and Defect Management) from directly within the IDE.
In addition, Dimensions CM is web services enabled--making it easy to integrate with other applications.
Lifecyle Tool Integration
Dimensions CM integrates with many different third-party tools including build, testing, and help desk systems.
When you use Dimensions with a help desk system like BMC Remedy you reduce customer issue resolution time, and gain visibility into issue status.
Combined with HP Quality Center, Dimensions CM makes it easier for your development and testing teams to collaborate on issue discovery, test plan management, and issue resolution.
Dimensions build management capabilities make it easy to use the build engine that suits your particular needs.
Web Services
Dimensions CM provides extensive SOAP-based web services, making it possible to integrate Dimensions with other applications in a flexible, easy-to-maintain way.
IDE Integration
Dimensions CM has native integrations with Eclipse and Visual Studio. Developers can complete their tasks directly within the IDE. For example, you can manage code streams and associate defects with code changes directly within the IDE.
