By linking virtual components deployed in Rational Test Virtualization Server with test execution records in Rational Quality Manager, testers can plan and control virtual components availability for testing and accelerate testing cycles. • Increasing team productivity and agility. Enhanced keyword support for multi- channel testing helps QA teams reuse test scenarios across multiple end points such as web and mobile. • Accelerating adoption of new capabilities, thanks to enhanced integration with automated test execution solutions and quicker and easier adoption of the latest release. For organizations looking for a complete collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) solution, Rational Requirements Composer, Rational Team Concert , and Rational Quality Manager is delivered in one easy-to-install and easy-to-use solution that can be optimized for agile or traditional teams. IBM United States Software Announcement 213-236 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1 By purchasing the three products that make up the Rational CLM solution, organizations have what they need to make software delivery a strategic business asset: real-time planning, lifecycle traceability, in-context collaboration, development intelligence, and continuous improvement. Rational Quality Manager is part of a larger vision described in The IBM Rational JazzTM Initiative, which is designed to advance the way teams collaborate to deliver software products and systems. For more information on the Jazz initiative, visit http://jazz.net/about Key prerequisites For details, refer to the Hardware requirements section. Planned availability date • June 7, 2013: Electronic availability • July 5, 2013: Media availability Description Organizations face growing pressures to quickly deliver high-quality software that is aligned with business objectives. Some of the pressures include: • Delivering more with same or even fewer resources • Working in teams that are becoming even more geographically distributed • Adhering to organizational standards without having the processes defined or documented Rational Team Concert drives software innovation through collaboration, to transform how people, especially those who have project-distributed teams, work together to develop and deliver software in an increasingly rapid manner. Rational Team Concert provides unique capability that allows teams to collaborate in the context of their work, perform real-time planning, steer, and correct the course with constant visibility to project status and learn and adapt with continuous process improvement. Benefits of the new capabilities in Rational Team Concert V4.0.3 Simple and fast agile ranking New simplified agile ranking makes it easier to rank customers' backlog using an explicit ranking gesture to rank order a backlog. Position based drag and drop also retains the rank order as you navigate through a large backlog. Enhanced Visual Studio support and usability in WindowsTM Shell New "my work view" use cases are delivered for the developer to manage their to do lists, current work, approvals, and pending activity stream. The usability of the Windows shell is improved to make it easier for new users to get started with our Windows Explorer integration. Reporting capability on time spent and complex attributes such as approvals IBM added complex work item attributes, approval descriptors, and the "Modified By" of work items into the data warehouse. This allows users to write their own Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence reports to analyze that data. New IBM United States Software Announcement 213-236 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2 easy-to-use BIRT-based reports are available such as user time sheets, team time sheets, or work-item specific time sheets. Enhanced Jenkins-Hudson integration A new Jenkins plug-in, which IBM contributed to the Jenkins project as an open source plug-in, allows teams to use their existing Jenkins-Hudson integration with Rational Team Concert SCM, without giving up traceability to work items and source code artifacts. This helps answer questions such as, what work items are in this Jenkins build and how do they relate to change sets in the Rational Team Concert SCM. This new integration also provides traceability links for build workspace, snapshot, and work item links. By supporting a deeper Jenkins integration, customers can incrementally adopt Rational Team Concert without changing their current build tools. It also opens up the Jenkins-Hudson ecosystem of plug-ins for use with Rational Team Concert , such as Sonar and many more. Deeper drill down and date checks in cross project plans Incremental improvements for cross-project plans are delivered. IBM currently shows only the tracked work items that are directly linked to a plan item on the cross-project plan. In Rational Team Concert V4.0.3, users can drill down and configure to which depth they want to be able to expand the tree. Additional performance improvements in plan loading In Rational Team Concert V4.0.1, plan loading performance is improved by 25%, which focused on large plan loading. In Rational Team Concert V4.0.3, there is additional improvement in performance. This is achieved by reducing the time it takes to load an empty plan, which benefits all plan loads regardless of size. Enhanced SCM command line performance With Rational Team Concert V4.0.3, customers can expect to see about a 10% performance improvement in command line operations. New support for Eclipse 4.2.2 while retaining backward compatibility Now developers can run the latest Rational Application Developer V9.x based development tools that are built on Eclipse V4.2.2. If customers need to run a mix of Rational Team Concert 3.x with clients running Rational Application Developer V8.x, and on the same Jazz server, run Rational Team Concert V4.0.3 with clients running Rational Application Developer V9.x, Rational Team Concert V4.0.3 can do that. Just remember, if customers need Eclipse V4.2.2 or Rational Application Developer V9.x support, then their server needs to be upgraded to Rational Team Concert V4.0.3. Improved ClearCase® importer The ability to import data from Rational ClearCase is enhanced to support more multi-stream and mutli-branch use cases as well as improved use of command line scripting to perform large import operations. Enterprise build and ISPF improvements1 Buildable subsets are an important feature of Rational Team Concert Developer for IBM Enterprise Platforms, but the existing tooling for creating and using them can be complex. In Rational Team Concert V4.0.3, the usability is improved and makes the translator search path configurable when customers run on IBM i. In addition, performance improvements are made to the preprocessing step and several improvements to the Rational Team Concert ISPF client. 1 Denotes new capabilities found in Rational Team Concert Developer for IBM Enterprise platforms. IBM United States Software Announcement 213-236 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3 Bundling DB2® Enterprise Server Edition V10.1 significantly offers increased data protection, scalability, and performance for all its database-intensive operations which, based on IBM DB2 technology, is designed to manage data more effectively and efficiently. Greater availability is delivered through enhancements such as online, automated database reorganization. In addition, the increased scalability and the ability to leverage the latest in server technology helps deliver increased performance of backup and recovery processes. Translation information for IBM software can be found online http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/prodguid/v1r0/clarity/index.jsp Statement of direction Future Rational Team Concert platform support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Internet Explorer 8 MicrosoftTM has officially announced that it will no longer support Windows XP after April, 2014, including no security fixes or updates. For Rational CLM-based Jazz products, IBM intends to drop support

  • Tooling Support for Enterprise Development
    TOOLING SUPPORT FOR ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT RYAN CUPRAK & REZA RAHMAN JAVA EE DEVELOPMENT • Java EE has had a bad reputation: • Too complicated • Long build times • Complicated/expensive tooling • Copious amounts of repetitive code • Expensive application servers • Overkill for most projects • Times have changed since 2000! • Java EE 5 made great strides leveraging new features introduced in Java 5. Java EE 6 pushes us forward. • Excellent tooling support combined with a simplification of features makes Java EE development fast, easy, and clean (maintainable). • It is Java EE – NOT J2EE!!! OBJECTIVE Challenge: Starting a new project is often painful. In this presentation you’ll learn: • How to setup a new Java EE project. • Disconnect between theory and practice. • Tools that you should consider learning/adding. • Best practices for Java EE development from tools side. When is the last time you evaluated your tools? APPLICATION TYPES Types of Java EE applications: • Prototype – verify technology, try different techniques, learn new features. • Throw-away – application which has a short-life space, temporary use. • Internal/external portal – application with a long life expectancy and which will grow over time. • Minimize dependence on tools. • Product – an application which deployed at a more than one customer site. Possibly multiple code branches. • Minimize dependence on tools. Life expectancy drives tooling decisions. PRELIMINARIES Considerations for a Java EE toolbox: • Build system: Ant, Maven, IDE specific? • Container: GlassFish/JBoss/ WebLogic/etc. • Technologies: EJB/JPA/CDI/JSF • IDE: Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA • Other tools: Unit testing, integration testing, UI testing, etc. IDES • NetBeans • Easy to use Java EE templates. • Includes a pre-configured GlassFish container.

  • From Build Automation to Continuous Integration
    Beginners guide to continuous integration Gilles QUERRET Riverside Software About the speaker • Working with Progress and Java since 10 years • Started Riverside Software 7 years ago • Based in Lyon, France • Focused on technical expertise and continuous integration in those environments • Code analysis for OpenEdge http://geekandpoke.typepad.com define:continuous integration Continuous Integration is a software development practice of performing software integration frequently…several times a day, in fact. Ideally, your software application or system should be built automatically after each commit into a shared version control repository. Upon each successful build, the system integrity should be verified using automated tests that cover if not all, then at least most of the functionality. If some tests fail, the developer responsible is notified instantly and the problem can be identified and solved quickly. Using this approach, you can deliver working and reliable code to the customer much faster, while also mitigating the risk of releasing unstable, buggy software to your users. define:continuous integration 5 steps to continuous integration 1 •Source code repository 2 •Build automation 3 •CI server setup 4 •Automated deployment 5 •Automated tests Use the right tools Step 1 : Source code repository • Keeps track of every change in your codebase • Using homegrown solution can be challenging in a continuous integration environment • Lots of tools on the market : CVS, Subversion, Mercurial, Perforce, BitKeeper, Roundtable… • Side note

  • Jenkins Continuous Build System
    Jenkins Continuous Build System Jesse Bowes CSCI-5828 Spring 2012 Executive summary Continuous integration systems are a vital part of any Agile team because they help enforce the ideals of Agile development Jenkins, a continuous build tool, enables teams to focus on their work by automating the build, artifact management, and deployment processes Jenkins’ core functionality and flexibility allow it to fit in a variety of environments and can help streamline the development process for all stakeholders involved Agenda Continuous Integration (CI) What is it? What are the benefits? Continuous Build Systems Jenkins What is it? Where does it fit in? Why should I use it? What can it do? How does it work? Where is it used? How can I get started? Putting it all together Conclusion References CI - Defined “Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible” – Martin Fowler CI – What does it really mean? At a regular frequency (ideally at every commit), the system is: Integrated All changes up until that point are combined into the project Built The code is compiled into an executable or package Tested Automated test suites are run Archived Versioned and stored so it can be distributed as is, if desired Deployed Loaded onto a system where the developers
