New Atlassian Product Line Up

JIRA gives users insight into the number of open issues, bugs and tasks associated with every project, including the rate at which these issues are resolved, how many issues are resolved, progress made on product roadmaps, and more.
Bamboo offers what Atlassian calls Build Telemetry, the ability to monitor and track automated software builds. It helps teams determine which builds break, the frequency at which builds succeed or fail, what tests are working, and more.
FishEye makes it painlessly easy to view a source code repository to help you better understand your changing source.
Crucible makes it easy to review code changes, make comments, and record outcomes in an efficient, distributed, and process neutral way.
Clover is a powerful and highly configurable code coverage analysis tool that discovers sections of code that are not being adequately exercised by unit tests. Developers and Team leads use Clover to quickly find untested java code and measure testing completeness. This feeds back into the testing process to improve tests.
Confluence is used by developers for documentation, product roadmaps and planning, and more.
Crowd will allow for single sign-on across all these products, as well as 3rd party development tools such as Subversion.
