Whitepaper: SOA Development Using the IBM Rational Software Development Platform: A Practical Guide
Business-Driven Development for SOA enables organizations to achieve two vital objectives in today’s business climate – business flexibility and the alignment of IT with business goals. The IBM Rational Software Development Platform provides development teams with a complete, open, modular and proven environment for business-driven development of flexible SOA solutions. Role-based tools provide both business and technical users with the set of capabilities they each need to close the gap between business and IT, ensuring that business requirements drive downstream development and providing traceability of requirements from inception to deployment.
This paper provides both an overview of and practical guidance for using the IBM Rational Software Development Platform to develop service-oriented applications.
Webcast: Service-Oriented Development of Applications using the IBM Rational Software Development Platform
This Webcast shows how the IBM Rational Software Development Platform (RSDP) is used to model, design and develop flexible, service-oriented solutions that enable organizations to be responsive and agile. You will see how the RSDP ensures business requirements drive downstream development by enabling:
- Business analysts to document business requirements as business process models
- Software architects to translate those models into a services architecture
- Developers to construct code elements
- Integration specialists to assemble the final solution, an executable composite application that will run in the WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation run time environment.
