Rational ClearCase is a tool for software configuration management (SCM). Once it hit the market in early 1990s, it was a revolutionary tool.

Since then, ClearCase powers software development in many large- and medium-size enterprises. However, since IBM purchased Rational in 2003, development of new features slowed down, and the new generation of developers switched to new tools, like Git.

  • Meet requirements for SOX
  • Set a centralized guideline for our development teams

What I like most is that it is very stable. In ten years, it has not crashed.

The interface is easy to use.

ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment.
