The IBM Internet of Things (IoT) Continuous Engineering Solution helps teams implement
continuous engineering principles as they specify, design, simulate, implement, verify, and validate
complex and connected products and systems.
Continuous engineering includes practices for achieving more agile, sustainable engineering
improvements in the new age of the Internet of Things:
- Engineering insight: use integrated tools and lightweight data integration to break down
the silos of information that can prevent project teams from making rapid, optimal design decisions
that continuously drive the design in the right direction.
- Continuous verification: shift traditional end-of-cycle verification (and validation) as
early as possible, and repeat them often to build in quality from the beginning.
- Strategic reuse: intelligently reuse product engineering artifacts; go beyond "clone and
own" approaches and make use of true configuration management within and across engineering tools.
Implement product line engineering to maximize your reuse potential.
Main components of the solution
The following functions and products are available in the solution:
- Requirements definition and management with Rational® DOORS®
or Rational DOORS Next Generation
- Solicit, engineer, document, and trace requirements. Help your stakeholders define what they
need, help them obtain their goals, and help your teams deliver efficiently when change inevitably
occurs.
- Modeling and simulation with Rational Rhapsody® and
Rational Rhapsody Design Manager
- Use visual modeling to validate requirements, to derive architectures, and to build embedded and
real-time software.
- Agile planning and collaborative change management with Rational Team Concert™
- Integrate planning and execution, automate workflows, and manage change across diverse
engineering disciplines and development teams.
- Verification, testing, and quality management with Rational Quality Manager
- Use collaborative quality planning, automated testing, and defect management to achieve quality
by design.
- Managing complex engineering data across various tools with Rational Engineering Lifecycle
Manager
- Unlock engineering knowledge distributed across multiple applications to gain collective insight
into the product lifecycle management data.
