Join the best minds in IBM Rational as product experts and market thought leaders provide insight into the latest trends and products through these web events.
#125 Accelerate innovation through codevelopment of hardware and software
Today we are going to talk about two different co-development solutions from IBM - one around the use of ClearCase in conjunction with Cadence Design Systems, a leading EDA company and IBM's own use of Clear Quest by the Hardware division. The reason this is so timely is that increasing electronics companies are seeing software as the catalyst for innovate and product differentiation.Gone are the days when software developers would wait for the latest release of a chip and then determine how to use it; today software frequently drives hardware choices. As a result, companies are recognizing the need for tight coordination and collaboration between the software and hardware engineers and the processes, tools and terminology they use. By having a common set of processes and tools, companies are able codevelop smarter products more efficiently, at a higher quality and lower cost.
Speakers: Sreenivasan Rajagopal and Wayne Carrigan.

In this podcast, Steve Weaver and Jamie Knowles discuss new capabilities from IBM Rational around cloud computing, including Rational Software Delivery Services for Cloud Computing, Virtual Load Testing and Modeling and Automated Deployment for Cloud.
#115 Value Driven Quality Management
Software is an increasingly critical component of smart products and systems. Improving the quality of that software is traditionally seen as incurring increased development costs due to the need to implement more rigorous tools and processes. However, improved quality can also reduce development costs by eliminating constant replanning, reducing reworks costs and providing better predictability in project delivery timing. This podcast discusses the key quality management strategies to deliver such cost savings with improved product quality. Speaker: Moshe Cohen
#114 Why New Compilers? Power Application Optimization Made Easy
Rational compilers can optimize your applications to work harder for you. Optimization is the process whereby compilers transform an application into a significantly more efficient version of itself. The compiler can recognize inefficient programming practices and transform them into more efficient ones. The program continues to behave as before but now runs smarter — it can run faster, use less system resources, and exploit parallel programming to run multiple sections of the code simultaneously. Listen to Roland Koo, Product Manager, Compilers, discuss the new functionality that can be yours when you upgrade to the latest versions of the Rational compilers for Power Systems.
#113 Emergent quality: Quality management in system-of-systems development
Our world is becoming smarter. Systems are being combined to deliver ever increasing value in ways that challenge our abilities to reason about, design and build. Discover the unique challenges posed on managing quality when systems are integrated to form a larger system of systems. Speaker: Dr. Bruce Douglass.

#110 Agile Development of Safety Critical Systems
Software is assuming an ever-increasing role in the control of potentially dangerous equipment. As product development timelines continue to be compressed, how can development organizations apply the principles of agile methods to the development of highly-reliable and safety systems? Join Bruce Powel Douglass, Chief Evangelist for IBM Rational as he discusses how Agile Embedded development applies to high reliability, safety critical systems.
#109 Software development accelerators
Automation in coding, build and test during the development phase
The third installment is focused on how developers can use neat tips and tricks to accelerate code development without compromising on quality. In fact, using automation and code testing and profiling tools that ship with Rational software delivery solutions can help dramatically improve the quality of the first code that goes through the door. Automating the builds and repetitive processes for complex deployments can save time and allow development and test teams to be more efficient and work with software as it’s meant to be deployed. We’ll discuss some easy methods to use during software development that can perform code analysis, static and dynamic testing, accelerated deployment through automation and best practices for producing better code even before it gets to the test team! Speaker: Adeel Omer.
#108 Trust and transparency: Managing secure outsourced relationships
Security has always hung upon, or been hung by, its weakest link. The complexity of today’s systems has compounded the difficulty of defending them, not just because of the number of components, but because of the many sources from which they are drawn. Whether you are integrating an outsourced or opensourced application, or if you are interfacing with an outsourced service provider, security must be one of the areas where there is clear focus and detailed requirements. In this podcast, Jack Danahy, Worldwide Security Executive for Rational, talks about some recent events where more security transparency would have helped, and describes ways in which Rational can help to ensure the security and reputations of our clients.
#107 Create stable and high quality software
Creating software that is flexible and secure by design
Have you ever been involved in a software project and thought “There must be a better way to do this?” Software delivery is a challenging proposition, but there are steps that can be taken to reduce cost and risk, and still delivery applications and services on time and on budget. In this series, we’ll examine five strategies software delivery teams can take to ensure application quality, while maintain a focus on cost and customer expectations. Speaker: Adeel Omer.
#106 Avoid unexpected surprises with test automation
Step 4 in the series 5 Steps to Reduce your Cost of Quality
In this series, we are listing five strategies software delivery teams can take to ensure application quality, while maintain a focus on cost and customer expectations. In this fourth installment, we’re going to talk about avoiding surprises. When developers add new functionality, or make fixes to address defects, what guarantee do they have that their changes will not adversely impact other areas of the application? The answer: none. The burden lies on quality management teams to ensure that intended changes have not caused unintended consequences. This is a repetitive task that can consume a significant amount of time — leaving little time left to validate new functionality. To ensure full coverage, teams can employ test automation to help avoid these unpleasant surprises and free their time to focus on validation of new functionality.
#105 Removing the cost barriers to getting the agile tools you need
If your development team is still using poorly integrated agile planning, version control, defect tracking or build tools, now you have no excuse not to try Rational Team Concert… but we should warn you, that our experience with other Rational Team Concert customers is once developers try it they don’t want to use anything else! Speaker: Rolf Nelson.
