Considering purchasing JIRA but do I also need Bamboo ?

stuart Jamieson

On our project we currently have our code in SubVersion

Considering JIRA to raise changes against, create releases etc.

I also want to be able to "fetch" the code associated with a Change / Release onto other machines. Threre is no "building" involved as the system we are developing consists of hundreds of configuration files, but we do want to be able to track which files were deployed onto which machines.

Can this all be done through JIRA or do I need to purchase Bamboo as well ?

You don't need Bamboo, but if you want to know which all files are getting changed and find out for which Jira issue the change is done, there are two ways.

• Get Fisheye if you want to manage multiple repositories associated with single project
• If it is a single repository, you can directly administer that in Jira

But remember, both requires that when developers commit code, they should use the relevant Jira id somewhere in the commit comment, so that Jira/Fisheye can pull out the svn log and map each changeset to the appropriate Jira issue.
