The company developed a suite of software products that managed the full software development lifecycle.[1] Seapine's tools included testing tools, configuration management, test-case management, and requirements management.[2] The company was best known for its TestTrack line of application lifecycle management (ALM) software.[3]

The company was acquired in 2016 by Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Perforce Software,[4] and TestTrack was rebranded as Helix ALM.[5][6]
