Software development

Ace Rocket uses a variety of programming languages to develop the components and products that they build. Because they use open source projects, they have numerous developers that use Git. For their internal development teams, they prefer the flexibility of Helix Server. Using Git Connector, Ace Rocket can track their Git commits in the Helix Core Server. This makes the Helix Core Server a single source of truth for all of their assets and provides an unbroken history.

Ace’s software developers use both Swarm to collaborate and communicate about the code they write. Ace Rocket’s Windows developers take advantage of the native Microsoft Visual Studio integration (P4VS), which makes it easy for them to kick off code reviews from within their IDE. Ace’s Java developers get the full power of Helix Server inside of their IDE of choice: Eclipse.

Using the Jenkins plugin, the Ace Rocket testing team continually tests code as it is checked into a single place by both Helix Server and Git developers.
