Task management
Atollic TrueSTUDIO® contains a context aware task management system. It supports a local mode for single developers, where all tasks are stored on the local PC. For development teams with an existing bug database server, the task management system integrates with many popular bug- and issue management systems, such as Bugzilla, Trac and JIRA.
If the development team is using one of the supported bug database servers, developers will be able to interact with the bug- and issue management system on the server completely integrated from within the Atollic TrueSTUDIO® development environment.
The tool helps with work planning too, as developers can schedule when various tasks needs to be completed, and different developers gets a task list that presents what work tasks have been assigned to them, and when they need to be completed.
Developers can even take screenshots from within Atollic TrueSTUDIO®, crop and annotate them, and automatically add them to a task as a bitmap file attachment. This can for example be great to document the debugger windows when describing a bug.
Atollic TrueSTUDIO® supports context aware task management, and allows developers to activate work on a specific task. When the developer stop working on that task (typically by activating work on another task), the product records all open files and their cursor positions. The next time that task is opened (maybe weeks later), the editor automatically loads the files that were open the last time work was done on that task, and the cursor is automatically moved to the same place it was the last time. I.e., when work is started on a task again, the developer is automatically placed in the same context he was in when he left that task the last time. This is a major time-saver and developer efficiency is greatly improved.
Furthermore, the Project Explorer view contains a filter button, which can be used to filter all files which are not part of the context of the currently active task. I.e., the Project Explorer view only display the files related to the current task in order to reduce information overloading and enable developers to more easily focus on the active work task.
