标题上的这两个名字或许大家会比较熟悉，Atlassian 的主产品包括 JIRA Issue Tracking System，被 Apache 等开源社区作为 bug 管理和 issue tracking 系统，Confluence Wiki System，是一个功能强大的企业级 Wiki 系统，也广泛的被众多开源社区使用，包括 Struts2 的文档管理。在国内 JavaScud 也为我们提供了以上两个产品的开源支持。当然对于商业用途，他们都是收费的。关于 Cenqua 呢，或许这个名字大家不是很熟悉，但 Clover 这个用于覆盖测试的工具，或许大家在很多开源项目的包里面看到过。
这两家公司的合并，主要目的应该在于增强他们的产品线的整合度，希望能为软件开发提供更好的整合化的解决方案，提高其产品的整体竞争能力。
下面附上新闻的全文，转自 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.
