In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we provide a blueprint for Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (CALM) and show how the new IBM Rational® products support this evolving market. Driven by the business demands of global software delivery, many large organizations are seeking guidance in how to incorporate agile methods. In this book, we provide a reference scenario and tool architectures for deploying the new IBM Rational products into an existing enterprise environment. We also provide a set of blueprints that define each of the key disciplines in the development life cycle to help you understand the domain and how the Rational products support the need of that discipline. Our primary focus is to highlight the value of CALM by providing a user view of the solution that is used to support a distributed enterprise development team that incorporates aspects of the "Agility-at-Scale" approach. While most Redbooks publications provide details about a single product, this book provides a "green-thread" reference scenario that details one end-to-end path through an iteration of a software development project. The scenario demonstrates a reference architecture for an enterprise that uses the new Rational Jazz technology-based products along with the existing Rational team products. The scenario includes Rational Build Forge® Enterprise Edition, Rational ClearCase®, Rational ClearQuest®, and Rational RequisitePro®, and introduces Rational Quality Manager, Rational Requirements Composer, Rational Soft

This IBM Redbooks publication explains the concepts and practice of developing service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based solutions using the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform (SDP). It uses the latest version of IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) that includes service-oriented modeling and architecture (SOMA) content from IBM Global Business Services. This book aims to help practitioners that are working on SOA-based projects. Practitioners can learn the core concepts behind SOA as well as how to use the tooling to automate the tasks involved in developing SOA-based solutions. The main thread of this book takes business requirements, business architecture, and existing assets as input, and derives the elements of a service-oriented architecture that are needed to realize the business requirements. The book covers architecture in detail, and shows how the architecture is realized through service identification, specification, realization, implementation, and testing. The book is organized around a practical example case study and provides tool and process guidance as well as additional references around key topics.

This IBM Redbook is intended to help you design your processes and solutions using Rational products to manage compliance. It shows how Rational solutions can be applied by an organization to realize a controlled, auditable software development environment to help alleviate specific challenges imposed by standards, policies, and regulations. This book provides a usage model and product configuration guidance to help a tools administrator implement and configure some or all of the Rational tools to address compliance challenges. This book is intended help you and your partners understand the design and deployment of IBM Rational's Business Driven Development for Compliance solution. This book focuses on problems addresses by Rational products. The emphasis is on auditable change processes, in particular using ClearQuest and ClearCase. We provide additional coverage of requirements for compliance using RequisitePro, and compliance attestation using ClearQuest Test Manager, IT governance using Rational Portfolio Manager, Rational Method Composer, and the Rational Unified Process (RUP). This book presents a solution for compliance management that demonstrates support of all three dimensions of business driven development of software for compliance, say what you do, do what you say, and be able to prove it.
