High costs? Feel restricted by HP?

• Lifecycle quality management

  If you need a lifecycle quality management solution that looks at quality as an ongoing end-to-end effort that demands collaborative teaming, that uses automation techniques and traceable metrics for constant, accurate analysis and reporting resulting in greater confidence, lower cost of software, and more efficient business performance, then we recommend you migrate using Rational Quality Manager deployment services .

• Requirements-driven quality

  If you need to improve time to value and quality by reducing rework and cost through faster stakeholder consensus and with traceable requirements throughout the software delivery lifecycle, migrate considering:

  • Rational Requirements Composer, a collaborative requirements definition solution that enables visualization, organization, and validation of requirements that capture evolving business objectives.
  • Rational RequisitePro, a powerful, easy-to-use, and integrated product for requirements and use case management.
  • Rational Doors®, a family of requirements definition and requirements management solutions, improves quality by optimizing communication and collaboration and by promoting compliance and verification.

  
  
• Functional test quality

  If you need to ensure functional test quality by keeping pace with new service or application demands and by bringing quality products to market on time with greater test coverage and reliable, consistent test execution and reporting, migrate considering:

  • Rational Functional Tester, an advanced, automated functional and regression testing tool for testers and GUI developers who need superior control for testing Java™ technology, VS.NET™ and Web-based applications.
  • Rational Functional Tester Plus for teams who need to do functional and regression testing for a wide array of platforms. This bundle includes both Rational Functional Tester and Rational Robot.
  • Rational Robot, a testing tool for centralized QA teams who want to automate the functional and performance testing of applications based on a variety of client/server GUI technologies.
  • Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality, functional test automation for the validation of SOA applications and Web services.

  
  
• Systems performance quality

  If you need to ensure system performance quality by reducing the time and cost to identify, isolate, diagnose, and repair production performance problems, migrate considering:

  • Rational Performance Tester, designed for load and performance testing of J2EE™ , Web-based, SIP, Siebel®, SAP® and Oracle® applications. With new log and trace capabilities, Performance Tester expedites problem resolution during testing and production problem resolution.
  • Integration with Tivoli® Composite Application allows you to import log and trace information captured in production and jump to the problematic source.

  
  
• Requirements on your legacy systems

  If you need to ensure both functional and performance requirements are met on zSeries mainframe systems, migrate considering:

  • Rational Functional Tester for Terminal-based Applications, a tool that enables testing of 3270 (zSeries™) and 5250 (iSeries™) terminal-based applications.
  • Rational Performance Tester for z/OS, the only load and performance testing solution that enables the use of zSeries hardware as a load generation platform.

IBM Rational earns #1 ranking in application development software from Evans Data 2009 User Choice Survey. "This is no set of disparate tools thrown together in an attempt to bridge the problems of developers as they move from design to coding to deployment. Rather, the Rational tools suite, integrated together in the Jazz platform, takes software development into a new realm which blends together requirements, asset management, architecture, development, QA, deployment, and further to touch on operations and maintenance."
