AJAX, agile programming are highlighted by Tibco, Rally

Low-cost version of General Interface is readied

Rally Agile Team Edition is for a single team of 10 developers and testers to communicate and manage software iterations. The multi-team service, Rally Agile Pro Edition, supports all roles and activities in a software lifecycle, with capabilities for release planning, tracking, requirements management, and program management.

"A number of companies wanted to get started with agile on just a single team and pilot and scale it up to agile practices, so we designed a product that didn't have the extra features of managing multiple teams in it," said Richard Leavitt, Rally vice president of product marketing. "We took out the program management features," of the Pro edition, he said.

With the new releases of Rally, enhanced custom views and filters enable users to add custom fields to requirements, test cases, and defects. Also offered is an enhanced Web services API for both SOAP and REST (Representational State Transfer), to integrate Rally with IDEs, the company said.  

Inline editing in Rally leveraging AJAX supports requirements, test cases, defects, and scheduling cards.

The core Rally platform now features a new User Story Type requirement, which provides a brief description of functionality to be provided from a user's perspective.

Rally Agile Pro pricing is $65 per month per user. Rally Agile Team Edition can be purchased for a promotional price of $995 per five users for six months.

Both editions are available now.
