Stronger JIRA Integration

Improve your code review workflow by transitioning JIRA Issues from the Crucible Workflow - no context switching. Often times when a user closes (summarizes) a Crucible code review, they jump to JIRA to close the linked issue. Now you can transition the issue linked to a review from Crucible and avoid jumping between the applications to do workflow transitions.

Improved Navigation

Crucible tracks the code reviews you view and provides the most recently viewed code reviews in a convenient drop-down menu from the Navigation Bar.

New Crucible Inbox

Crucible now has new filters to organize and keep track of code reviews - inbox, outbox, and archive.

Native Repository Access

Crucible has a new way to directly access repositories - Subversion, Git, Mercurial, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase - even if you use it without Atlassian FishEye. This means faster and more efficient integration with your source and a simple upgrade if you choose to add FishEye later. Of course, the lightSCM plugins still work too for accessing other review sources.

Ultra-lightweight Snippet Reviews

Start an ad-hoc code review by simply providing a title and a code snippet then start discussing it with the team - we call it Snippet Reviews.

Snippet reviews can be started in seconds, and any user can participate in threaded discussions about the snippets - workflow and moderator are not required.

Changeset Discussions

Commit messages allow a developer to provide a simple bit of information with a commit. But sometimes others may want to leave a free-form comment about a particular changeset. Or perhaps the members of your team want to have a short discussion on a change. Crucible now offers changeset comments to do just that.

New Crucible Gadgets

There are now more Crucible gadgets that can be displayed on a JIRA Dashboard, iGoogle homepage, or any OpenSocial Container. Get a list of of code reviews that you must complete with the "todo" gadget or know what reviews require immediate attention with the "overdue" gadget.

Review Coverage Report

When using Crucible with FishEye utilize the Coverage Report to improve your code quality with charts and statistics:

  • Percentage of code that has been peer reviewed
  • Understand what code has not been reviewed
