Integration of revision control systems and process tools

A system for software development comprising:

• a central server comprising a revision control system module;
• a process server comprising a process tool module;
• a local server comprising a local development environment;
• and
• an integration server comprising a mapping module;
• wherein:
• the integration server is communicatively coupled to the process server and the central server and the local server is communicatively coupled to the central server;
• the revision control system module includes a plurality of branches;
• the process tool module in configured to create a plurality of tickets indicating a product requirement;
• the central server is configured to:
• receive and store the tickets, and transmit at least one of the tickets to each of a plurality of local development environments that each includes a local, corresponding, and different version control system and that can each develop a respective development artifact, wherein the local version control systems respectively facilitates storing and retrieval of developments or revisions of a software source code;
• receive the development artifacts back from the local development environments and store the received development artifacts, wherein the local development environments pushes the development artifact in response to the requirement of the ticket;
• and
• maintain and update the tickets that, for each ticket, variably associates the development artifact with a respective one of the branches of the revision control system module;
• and
• the integration server is configured to copy changes in the tickets stored on the revision control system to the ticket in the process tool module, and accordingly control transitions of the corresponding development artifacts between the plurality of branches in the revision control system module of the central server.
