2 Over time, cost of maintaining integrations can exceed cost of the tools! Customers have many and heterogeneous ALM tools for which they need integrations Customers have made extensive customization to their tools that need to be preserved Integration process is often quoted as the #1 pain poin 280 companies, Source = Forrester ALM Integration= Traceability + Visibility + Collaboration Data from one tool must be traced to related data in another tool (Traceability) Metrics/reporting in a heterogeneous environments (Visibility) Users across disciplines can find more efficient to work together in the overall software delivery process (Collaboration). 2

3 Examples of common lifecycle integration scenarios We have HP Quality Center set for all our testers, but they need to better collaborate with analysts and developers who have IBM Jazz lifecycle tools We like how JIRA tracks issues, but it s not really a requirements management or test management tool We are using Git for SCM. We don t want to move off that tool right now, although we see the benefit in RTC s other capabilities (dashboarding, planning, build, collaboration, etc..) We need to aggregate reporting across multiple lifecycle tools These and similar situations require you to practice ALM in a heterogeneous lifecycle tools environment

4 RLIA: Rational Lifecycle Integration Adaptors Have IBM products coexist and interoperate with your existing environment RLIA integrate IBM ALM products to 3 rd -party tools in a way such that the tools can coexist and interoperate in the customers lifecycle environments. Who need RLIA? Any customer that has or is interested in buying Rational products and needs those products to coexist and interoperate with existing ALM tools RLIA exists in 2 editions: Standard and Tasktop Standard: uses full OSLC mechanism (will be stopped) Tasktop: uses a combination of OSLC and synchronization methods IBM Corporation 4

5 RLIA Standard Edition OSLC-based Linking Rational ClearQuest Rational Doors Next Rational Team Concert Rational Quality Manager

6 RLIA Tasktop Edition Rational Quality Manager Rational Team Concert Rational Doors Next Tasktop: OSCL and Synching Capabilities to Cover Additional Customer Use Cases

7 Comprehensive reporting & planning visibility with RLIA With RLIA Tasktop Edition, work items are instantly synchronized between systems Enables teams to collaborate effectively while continuing to work in the dedicated tools enables effective decision making and planning in RTC across tools Enables integration with other Jazz features (SCM, Build, Requirements and tests) Marco Manager Developers using external tools Report on ALL defects in RTC and external tools Change priorities Plan iterations in a single system of record External tools sync Rational Team Concert RTC Developers

8 Example: Workflow preservation with RTC and HP Quality Center QA processes, customizations and workflows are established in HP Quality Center RTC is in place for development execution Tanuj Tester Deb Developer 1 3 Submit new defect Create test cases related to corrected defect link 2 Review defect Clarify with Tanuj Implement fix Update defect status sync HP Quality Center Rational Team Concert Defects are instantly synchronized between systems enabling practitioners to effectively collaborate across tool boundaries The development team can adopt RTC without disrupting existing processes established by the QA team

9 RLIA Tasktop edition HP ALM/Quality Center: Synchronizes HPQC (HP ALM) defects with work items in RTC Synchronizes requirements in HPQC (HP ALM) with requirements in DNG Atlassian JIRA: Synchronizes issues in JIRA with work items in RTC Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) Synchronizes defects in TFS with work items in RTC Bugzilla: Synchronizes bugs in Bugzilla with work items in RTC CA Clarity: Synchronizes tasks in Clarity with work items in RTC IBM Corporation 9

10 Information RLIA link on Passport Advantage Tasktop Sync h/w sizing Tasktop Connector-specific known limitations Tasktop knowledge-base articles, FAQs etc. jazz.net Integration Directory: Demo and videos on youtube;

11 Working with Jazz and Git/GitHub/GitLab Automated traceability from work item back to Git commit, facilitates sharing, re-use and learning across teams 11

12 Intégration RTC with Git, GitHub et GitLab Rich hover support for Git commits, that link to code 12

13 Intégration RTC with Git, GitHub et GitLab Auto resolve a defect or set time spent without leaving Git 13

14 Process integration with Git 14

15 Documentation (RTC / Git integration) (vidéo) 15

16 SUMMARY: Meeting our clients need to practice ALM in a heterogeneous lifecycle environment Help customers to improve their overall lifecycle management solution and leverage existing investments Support cross tool collaboration and allow practitioners to communicate across tool boundaries Provide cross tool traceability and enable reporting between artifacts in different repositories Connect with partners and suppliers
