Business Mashups

Go2Group leverages Serena’s process-driven, Mashup approach, allowing Mashup users to view related information to specific incidents, without ever having to leave Serena® Business Mashups. Go2Group’s Mashups display data within Serena’s tabbed interface.

Using Serena Business Mashups, a tester simply logs an incident into the Serena interface. If there is an associated artifact 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.
