LEXINGTON, Mass.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--AccuRev Inc., a member of the HP Quality Management Ecosystem Partner Program, today announced support for HP Quality Center 10.0. AccuRev is extending its current issue-based change management integration to include software configuration management (SCM) for development and quality assurance (QA) teams leveraging their current investment in HP Quality Center 10.0.

AccuRev provides software development process automation and source code versioning to ensure full traceability between requirements and source code changes.
