Feel the Love with Bamboo 4.4!

It's not quite Valentine's Day, and already, l'amour is in l'air. If you're not feelin' it yet, this is the perfect time to check out Bamboo 4.4 - filled to the brim with customer-reported fixes and enhancements. It's our way of showing that we care.

Warning: Do not use this plug-in on a production server. The plugin generates test data very quickly and can overwhelm and pollute your production JIRA system. Test instances the

Performance Testing meets Continuous Integration – Bamboo and Blitz

This is a guest blog post by Kowsik Guruswamy, CTO for Mu Dynamics, the company that powers Blitz. Kowsik is a self proclaimed cloud junkie that can reconcile big data with packets.
