Perforce features for the financial services industry

Guarantee reproducibility

Perforce provides a complete history of your project's development. Using P4V's graphical code review tools, such as Revision Graph and Time-lapse View, you can instantly see how the entire content history of a file has evolved over time. Quickly identify when pieces of code were added, changed, or deleted at any point in a file's history. Each change is identified by date and time, file revision number, and the user responsible for the change.

Develop concurrently and in parallel

Perforce's Inter-File Branching lets you create branches and then easily merge changes between codelines. Whether you're merging files between branches or merging because of concurrent edits to the same file, Perforce's built-in conflict detection and resolution process quickly identifies files that require attention to resolve conflicts. Perforce includes merge and differencing tools, and supports third-party merge tools.

Track issues and defects

Perforce Jobs provides a customizable, built-in defect tracking system. It enables users to link changelists to enhancement requests, problem reports, and other user-defined tasks. Jobs can be extended through integrations with third party defect tracking systems for complex workflow requirements.

Generate reports and metrics

The Perforce Reporting System supports leading tools such as Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft Excel, or any reporting tool that interfaces with an ODBC data source. Prepackaged reports are included and custom reports can also be created.

Collaborate globally

The Perforce Proxy offers caching technology to provide remote users with quicker response times and real-time access to project activity and status information. Unlike replication solutions with their inherent administrative overhead, the Perforce Proxy reduces the load on the Perforce Server, and because it recovers files automatically, it requires no backups.

Integrate with Perforce

Perforce offers a flexible solution that you can link with your existing systems—from build tools and APIs to user interfaces—or extend to meet your specific needs. There are also plug-ins for a range of popular IDEs, web authoring tools, and Microsoft Office.
