TeamForge—previously known as SourceForge Enterprise Edition (SFEE)—is a proprietary platform designed for collaborative application lifecycle management, facilitating version control and overseeing software development processes.
Background
Serving as an interface for multiple software development lifecycle functionalities, TeamForge integrates seamlessly with numerous open source software tools, including PostgreSQL and Subversion.
Its origin traces back to SourceForge, which started as an open source project before transitioning to a proprietary model under the name SourceForge Enterprise Edition. This version was redeveloped in Java and targeted primarily at the offshore outsourcing software development market.
The initial SourceForge codebase, known as "Alexandria," was forked by the GNU Project into GNU Savannah, subsequently adapted at CERN into Savane. Additionally, SourceForge was forked into GForge, which later gave rise to FusionForge.
Initially marketed by VA Software, SourceForge Enterprise Edition was purchased by CollabNet on April 24, 2007. CollabNet combined it with its own CollabNet Enterprise Edition, integrating components from both systems and rebranding the result as TeamForge in 2008. Since its relaunch, TeamForge has expanded its capabilities by incorporating further application lifecycle management features.
