Highlights of Crucible 2.1
|
Wiki Markup RenderingThe Wiki Markup language that's used in Confluence and JIRA can now be rendered by Crucible. Review comments, review descriptions and commit messages will now be shown rendering Wiki Markup code, allowing insertion of images, diagrams and text formatting. See the documentation for more.

Progress TrackingWhile reviewing, Crucible will now automatically remember which files you've read and show this as a percentage in the Review Details panel. you no longer have to explicitly click a checkbox to mark a file as reviewed. If you've only skimmed the page and plan to revisit it, you can select that a file's status be left unread. Screenshot: Crucible Progress Tracking |

Streamlined JIRA IntegrationWhen you create a review, the title and objectives are now parsed in the hunt for a JIRA reference. When we find one, that JIRA issue is automatically associated with the review. And if we've been a little over eager in sourcing a reference, simply click to remove it. Creating JIRA issues from within Crucible has also been enhanced, with an 'Assignee' drop-down being added: Screenshot: Streamlined JIRA Integration in Crucible |

Review Time TrackingCrucible now has time tracking for review participants. When you've got a review open in your browser, Crucible will track the time you have spent on that particular review. You can also click to change the amount of time recorded. Totals are displayed in the Review Details panel. Screenshot: Crucible Time Tracking |

Review History DialogThe new History Dialog differentiates old and new states of your interactions with a review. The result is that now you get richer information about those interactions and more control. You can sort the information by date, actor, or action. This information can also be displayed in the new timeline mode. Additionally, you can get access to the entire Review history through the CSV download link in the upper right corner, allowing for easy data import into a spreadsheet or other application.

"Blockers" ReportsEvery now and then, someone in the team can become a bottleneck in the review process. The new review blockers report helps by identifying team members that have a lot of reviews waiting in their inbox. Additionally, the JIRA blockers report accepts a JIRA feed, which you can find under the 'View' drop-down on your JIRA 4 Issue Navigator page. Add the URL to the report and you get an insight to which issues and participants you need to follow up. Both these reports are plugins that come bundled with Crucible.
