TURNOVER® for iSeries v100 liberates developers by automating the less interesting parts of their jobs via interfaces designed for optimum productivity in their preferred environment. From one screen, they can review their tasks, analyze what needs to be changed, make and test changes, and prepare a change for promotion and deployment.
