Annotating Tool for Developers Using Rational ClearCase

As a developer, team leader, integrator, release engineer or QA engineer, have you ever asked youself:

• "Who inserted that line of source code?"
• "Where did this line of code come from? What was the source branch or stream?"
• "When was this line of code inserted? How can I find the lines which have been inserted recently?"

Watch an Overview

Save your Time on Debugging

Visual Annotate provides a source code viewer that colors each code line separately, depending on the criteria that you choose: by usernames, by dates or by versions. It also provides you with a special mode in which you can see removed lines. This feature helps you compare the same code line on different versions - even more than two versions simultaneously!
