標題上的這兩個名字或許大家會比較熟悉，Atlassian 的主產品包括 JIRA Issue Tracking System，被 Apache 等開源社區作為 bug 管理和 issue tracking 系統，Confluence Wiki System，是一個功能強大的企業級 Wiki 系統，也廣泛的被眾多開源社區使用，包括 Struts2 的文檔管理。在國內 JavaScud 也為我們提供了以上兩個產品的開源支持。當然對于商業用途，他們都是收費的。關于 Cenqua 呢，或許這個名字大家不是很熟悉，但 Clover 這個用于覆蓋測試的工具，或許大家在很多開源項目的包里面看到過。
這兩家公司的合并，主要目的應該在于增強他們的產品線的整合度，希望能為軟件開發提供更好的整合化的解決方案，提高其產品的整體競爭能力。
下面附上新聞的全文，轉自 TheServerSide：
Atlassian Software Systems has announced the acquisition of Cenqua, a supplier of market-leading software engineering tools Clover, FishEye, and Crucible. This acquisition combines two of the fastest growing producers of software development tools.
The combined company will focus on providing a more comprehensive, integrated experience for software developers that rely on these tools. Cenqua's 2,000 customers will see faster development of Clover, FishEye, and Crucible, and will gain access to Atlassian's developer network and worldwide technical support facilities.
"We're gaining some of the best software developers in the world," said Mike Cannon-Brookes, co-founder and CEO at Atlassian. "We've known and liked the Cenqua products and people for a long time. Their products are a fantastic complement to Atlassian's, and this will give us the opportunity to build much tighter integration between everything."
Peter Moore, co-founder and CEO at Cenqua added, "We're really excited to be joining the Atlassian team. It's an awesome match that allows us to leverage more resources that can be applied to product development and support."
Cenqua adds SCM integration, code review, and code quality analysis to Atlassian's issue tracking, wiki, and continuous integration. Clover, FishEye and Crucible will remain separate products and retain the same development team. Clover.NET customers will continue to receive support for another 12 months, however the product will be discontinued. Starting today, customers can purchase Cenqua products and get support through http://www.atlassian.com.
