Rational Build Forge Adaptor Toolkit

IBM Rational® Build Forge® Adaptor Toolkit enables you to create seamless links between your build environment and your third-party source code control, defect tracking, or testing software for increased efficiency and tracking. The Rational Build Forge Adaptor Toolkit:

• Provides continuous monitoring of the third-party source repository

• Executes builds automatically when a change occurs

• Monitors source changes and gathers metrics to provide detailed repository state tracking for each build

• Lets you see where changes occurred from submission comments to actual file differences on a per build basis using the IBM Rational Build Forge management console

• Allows you to correlate source code changes, defects, and tests with specific builds for a detailed understanding of the build components

• Captures key build statistics, including changes made, build time and date, and more, and stores this information in a central location for quick access

Rational Build Forge Adaptor Toolkit provides ready to use adaptors for CVS, Perforce® SCM, Borland® StarTeam®, Microsoft® Visual Source Safe®, and Subversion. You can modify these adaptors or create your own for custom or other third-party software development tools.

IBM Rational ClearCase® and IBM Rational ClearQuest® adaptors are available with IBM Rational Build Forge.

The Adaptor Toolkit is a standard feature of Rational Build Forge Enterprise Edition Plus. The toolkit is available separately for Rational Build Forge Enterprise and Standard editions.
