NovaForge : Case Study Bull

Bull has deployed NovaForge since 2007 in its French hosting center, Trélazé. Several instnaces of NovaForge are in production:

• one internal forge accessible from the Bull intranet
• one external forge accessible from Internet for Bull Project teams, partners and customers

All these forges are used by Bull Services teams to conduct their projects in different domains like development, integration and support/maintenance projects.

The main features used by these projects are the following:

• collaborative features like project and users management, wiki, forum, mailing lists, document management and validation, ...
• development features to generate Java applications from UML model
• continuous integration to build, test and quality check applications
• manage requirements, code configuration, bug tracking, ...

NovaForge is also deployed in Bull affiliates like in Brazil and Spain.
