Whois & Analysis for cloudforge.com

CloudForge is a software-as-a-service product for application development tools and services, such as Git hosting, Subversion (SVN) hosting, issue trackers and Application Lifecycle Management.

CloudForge was built on CollabNet’s cloud hosting and integration platform, acquired from Codesion.com in October 2010.

Git is a version control system (VCS) for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people.

It is primarily used for software development, but it can be used to keep track of changes in any files.

As a distributed revision control system it is aimed at speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.

Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system distributed as open source under the Apache License.

Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation.

Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS).

A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways.

Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made in either a program's source code or its design, or in components and operating systems used by such programs.

A few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.

A program that contains a large number of bugs, and/or bugs that seriously interfere with its functionality, is said to be buggy (defective).

An issue tracking system (also ITS, trouble ticket system, support ticket, request management or incident ticket system) is a computer software package that manages and maintains lists of issues, as needed by an organization.

Issue tracking systems are commonly used in an organization's customer support call center to create, update, and resolve reported customer issues, or even issues reported by that organization's other employees.

A support ticket should include vital information for the account involved and the issue encountered.

An issue tracking system often also contains a knowledge base containing information on each customer, resolutions to common problems, and other such data.

An issue tracking system is similar to a "bugtracker", and often, a software company will sell both, and some bugtrackers are capable of being used as an issue tracking system, and vice versa.

Consistent use of an issue or bug tracking system is considered one of the "hallmarks of a good software team".
