As a software architect, data architect, developer, build engineer and tester, you’re responsible for providing services and composite applications on time and on budget that deliver expected business results.
IBM can help you with the following core products:
| If you need to... | ...IBM Rational software can help |
|
Ensure that business goals and requirements drive downstream design, development and testing.
Verify that business requirements were accurately captured and implemented in key applications.
|
IBM Rational RequisitePro® software - provides use-case management capabilities that enable you to trace the service definition to the business process definition to the application requirements. This traceability helps you identify coverage gaps and understand the impact of changes to service definitions, processes or applications.
IBM Rational Software Architect software - reads the UML created by the WebSphere Business Modeler software that the business analyst uses to model new processes to satisfy business requirements. Using the UML, you can analyze both this new process and the existing systems to properly design required services and composite applications. Architectural analysis of existing systems minimizes business risk by providing critical insight into the impact of creating services from mission-critical applications.

Enforce sound design and development principles for maximum asset reuse and reliability. |
IBM Rational Application Developer - this Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) helps developers rapidly design, develop, assemble, test, profile and deploy high quality Java/J2EE™, Portal, Web, Web services and SOA applications.
IBM Rational Business Developer extension for RAD - provides a powerful workbench for Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) development, surfacing CICS transactions and COBOL processes as SOA services, allowing you to reuse existing assets within your SOA.
IBM Rational Data Architect software - helps data architects design relational and federated databases, understand data assets and their relationships and streamline database projects. |
|
Verify software builds and document the exact software versions that are deployed.
Manage quality across the SOA delivery lifecycle.
|
IBM Rational Tester for SOA Quality software - provides automated, data-driven regression and functional testing for atomic and composite services.
IBM Rational Performance Extension for SOA Quality software - validates the reliability and performance of atomic or composition services with a flexible test scheduler that specifies the different groups of consumers, as well as the activities and usage patterns of each group.
IBM Rational Build Forge™ software - automates build and release management across multiple projects. It helps reduce errors that delay downstream testing and deployment activities by enabling you to quickly build a service or composite application while writing code.
IBM WebSphere Integration Developer and Runtime software - automates service assembly and deployment of composite applications. All of the components are assembled together into the final, working SOA solution, tested and deployed into production.
IBM Rational Functional Tester software - enables you to manage composite application test scenarios across geographically distributed teams.
IBM Rational Performance Tester software - helps you validate the scalability and reliability of complex applications before deployment. You’re able to quickly create and execute rigorous test plans for composite applications that emulate real-world usage environments to ensure performance meets SLAs. You can also automatically deploy applications to production from the test environment. This integration helps you more rapidly diagnose and fix defects discovered in production by enabling collaboration on root-cause problem analysis.
