ANNOUNCEMENT: ChangeGroup releases ChangeGroup Open System Documentary 1.0 Beta 1

ChangeGroup proudly announces the immediate availability of ChangeGroup Open System Documentary (CGOSD) 1.0 Beta 1.

Display your Oracle database documentation on the Web using HTML or save it in PDF or RTF for printing seconds after the test manager raises his thumb. And more than that -- have 100% updated documentation from start to end in your database project.

"Our key vision behind CGOSD is to deliver up-to-date complete documentation
of all database objects and PL/SQL code at any time in the development cycle", says Product Architect at ChangeGroup, Finn Ellebaek Nielsen.

The documentation tool is an integrated part of the development process and objects are documented as they are created and evolve -- suddenly getting passed that white line of delivery has become a bit easier.

The CGOSD intelligent parser crawls through your database and collects information both for objects and code that are documented and those that are not -- all this while automated checks reduce the probability of inconsistencies between the documentation and the actual source code.

"The coupling of documentation and source code is not a new idea, but we
have brought it a step further than just Javadoc for PL/SQL". CGOSD extracts the code and documentation into a metadata repository of object information that can also be used for e.g. impact analysis, QA, code inspection, automated testing and more.

Having an up-to-date on-line documentation set from start to end in your project strengthens the whole development team from developers to testers, configuration managers and writers of user-level documentation. Not to forget the project managers who can now follow the code evolve from day to day.

Decoupling the documentation from the formatting engines such as text processors or HTML rendering systems also makes it possible with a push of a button to get the documentation exposed to different media -- printed manuals, on-line help files or XML to stream it to a corporate documentation database.

"We benefit from the tool in our own projects and it was also part in one of
the largest Oracle E-Business Suite implementations in the world".
