Event Details

Zed Builds and Bugs Manager brings together continuous integration, bug tracking, discussion forums, and wiki collaboration in a single, unified web application, eliminating the need to purchase these common software development tools individually and bringing the benefit of collaboration between these applications.

In this presentation we'll go through why each of these components is useful to a development team (believe it or not there are teams who still use excel for bug tracking!), and demonstrate some best practices for taking advantage of each of these components. We'll also dive into some details about the underlying Java technologies that Hericus used to implement Zed Builds And Bugs. And if that's not enough, we'll also talk about being a startup in one of the worst economic times we've seen in a decade!

Company Overview

Hericus Software was founded right here in the Houston area in early 2008 with the goal of helping developers to do more with their time by getting rid of the clutter that surrounds typical development projects. We've helped companies in the area to streamline development by getting a handle on their builds, bugs, and developer collaboration. From this has emerged Zed Builds And Bugs - the first integrated suite of tools that gives you a single focal point for your development activities. 

Hericus Software is still a small startup and we're eager to participate in your development projects and help your teams to succeed. We provide Zed Builds And Bugs as a packaged software application that you can introduce immediately to your team, as well as consulting services to help you get organized and on the right track with your development projects.
