Case Study: CureSearch Children's Oncology Group achieves faster deployments and streamlined issue and change management with Seapine Software (TestTrack & Surround SCM)

TestTrack and Surround SCM Provide Exceptional Value for CureSearch

CureSearch Children’s Oncology Group (COG) coordinates clinical trials across more than 235 institutions and manages hundreds of ongoing studies and tens of thousands of patients and survivors, creating massive, distributed data-collection needs. Their legacy Remote Data Entry system required custom programs per study and took over 18 weeks to deploy new trials; bug tracking relied on email/spreadsheets and Visual SourceSafe struggled with code sharing and multiple build streams, making development and deployment slow and error-prone.

COG implemented Seapine’s TestTrack for issue and support tracking and Surround SCM for version and change management. TestTrack delivered a customizable issue workflow and automated email-to-issue support quickly, while Surround SCM enabled flexible branching, reliable deployments, faster file retrieval, and easier sharing of common code—reducing build preparation time, enabling multiple builds per week, improving productivity, and delivering a robust, cost-effective change-management solution that supports high-availability deployments.
