ClearCase Goodies is a software collection that provides various tools and utilities for ClearCase version control system. It is designed to simplify ClearCase administration and enhance its capabilities, with its collection of scripts and commands to automate and optimize performance.
Most companies that use ClearCase end up doing the same kinds of things, such as developing additional features, creating triggers, setting up maintenance jobs, and defining backup schemes. These efforts are rarely related to the company's core domain expertise, and instead focus on making ClearCase work effectively. Unfortunately, this work is often repeated across many companies, making it repetitive and time-consuming.
Praqma is a company that provides ClearCase-related services to a range of customers across different industries. Over time, the company found that they were being asked to do the same tasks over and over again, but for different customers. Due to non-disclosure agreements, they couldn't reuse the work they had already done.
To address this problem, Praqma developed a range of ClearCase tools and released them under the GNU GPLv3 license. These tools were used internally by Praqma until May 2009, when they were made publicly available as part of the Accelerated ClearCase project. The goal of the project is to help others benefit from the work that has already been done and make it easier for ClearCase users to optimize their use of the software.
The hope is that other ClearCase users around the world will find these tools useful and contribute to their development. By sharing the work that has already been done, companies can save time and money and focus on their core domain expertise. The Accelerated ClearCase project is a valuable resource for any company that uses ClearCase and wants to optimize their use of the software.
