Go2Group Mashups User Guide

Go2Group SCM Mashup Overview

Go2Group leverages Serena's new process-driven, Mashup approach, allowing Mashup users to view SCM change history related to specific incidents, without ever having to leave Serena® Business Mashups. Go2Group's SCM Mashup displays SCM data within Serena's tabbed interface.

Using Serena Business Mashups, a tester simply logs an incident into the Serena interface. If there is an SCM change history log associated with the specific incident, the "Integrations" tab will provide a description of the changes made. The user can review change history information such as:

• The user who made the change
• The date of the change
• The location of the change
• The change history ID
• The check-in comment

The display of related change history within Serena helps keep the process flowing by providing users the information needed to make timely decisions.
