Integrating with issue tracking tools

You can integrate Surround SCM with issue tracking tools to provide a complete change management solution by tracking what changed and why. This allows you to attach source code files from Surround SCM to issues or items managed in an external issue tracking tool. You can also view and fix issues from Surround SCM.

When Surround SCM is integrated with an issue tracking tool, you can analyze risk in source files to determine which files may have unresolved problems based on the issue attachment history. See Analyzing issue risk in files.

A server plug-in for the issue tracking integration must be installed in the issueplugins folder in the Surround SCM application directory. See Issue Tracking API documentation in the issueplugins folder in the Surround SCM application directory for information about creating plug-ins.

Note: Download plug-ins for Bugzilla, JIRA, and Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) from the Integrations page.
