New DevSuite 7.0 allows projects of ANY size to be agile, empowering large companies to harness the efficacy of agile software development!

LAFAYETTE, CALIFORNIA ,May 28, 2008 - After two years of aggressive research and development - TechExcel, Inc., the leading provider of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and IT service management software solutions, today announced the long awaited release of DevSuite 7.0. TechExcel’s DevSuite is a line of fully integrated ALM tools, which is comprised of DevSpec for requirements management, DevPlan for project planning, DevTrack for issue tracking, DevTest for quality assurance and regression testing, and KnowledgeWise for centralized knowledge management.

This new release of the company’s award-winning ALM platform is significant as it introduces an entirely new tool for requirements management, DevSpec. With DevSuite 7.0, now companies and projects of any size or global distribution can be agile by harnessing a complete library of preconfigured solution guides for the most popular software development methodologies such as Scrum, feature driven development, Iterative Development, SpecDD, and CMMI.

“DevSpec is the final piece of the puzzle, which secures DevSuite 7.0 as the first truly scalable and agile implementation platform,” said Tieren Zhou, CEO of TechExcel, Inc.  “All software development projects should be agile - empowering developers, customers and other stakeholders to introduce requirements and features earlier in the process – when they’re needed most. ‘Finally, there is an implementation platform which allows globally distributed teams, and companies of all sizes to go agile!”

Successful Software development processes delivered

Using DevSuite 7.0, organizations can both speed up development processes, and minimize risk by proactively defining and managing software requirements throughout the entire development lifecycle. DevSuite transforms complex methodologies into simple and controlled daily practices through workflow controls, definable user interfaces, process automation rules, auto routing, auto escalation, and email notifications. Visibility, traceability, and validation can now be enforced throughout the entire development lifecycle, without adding costly overhead, or reducing agility.
