Eclipse Code Recommenders Proposes Code Based On Bayesian Networks posted Jun 27, 2012

Which of the 6 Date constructors is the right1 one to use?), it is not always clear which one should be called.

Tasktop Sync Studio announced, ALM Architects rejoice posted Mar 28, 2012
As organizations increasingly become software driven, the role of the application lifecycle is taking a new meaning. Connecting stakeholders in the software lifecycle ceases being a nice to have and any gap in connectivity quickly becomes the bottleneck of software delivery. The organizations are now noticing the friction of having developers do duplicate data entry between their issue tracker and Agile tool, or testers and business analysts queuing up weeks of defects and requirements before handing them off to developers. The application lifecycle is only as efficient as its weakest link, and if that link is manual and based on large batches and handoffs, frustration for the individuals and large-scale inefficiencies result.
