Architecture management
Model, design and rapidly build
resilient architectures for SOA, systems and applications. The need for architecture
management becomes critical when designing, developing and delivering complex
software in a world where applications are increasingly more modular and complex. Rational provides
industry-leading architecture management tools for architecture and design
modeling, model-driven development, component testing, and static and runtime
analysis activities.
Change and release management
Improve software delivery
and lifecycle traceability from requirements through deployment. IBM Rational®
offers comprehensive, integrated build, change and release management products
for successful software delivery. These solutions help software and systems
delivery teams within small and midsized businesses accelerate delivery and
manage their end-to-end software processes–all within budget.
Integrated requirements management
Define and manage
requirements, and provide traceability and alignment with business processes.
Integrated requirements management is about more than defining and managing
requirements -- it's about making them part of the full development lifecycle
and linking them directly to the business -- meaning that the software you
deliver meets the real needs of the business users.
Process and portfolio management
Align business goals,
best practices and projects for improved productivity and predictability. IBM Rational process
and portfolio management products are used to manage the development process,
including software project management, managing resource utilization and project
costs, tracking project scope and measuring development progress. IBM Rational’s
solutions provide portfolio dashboards, project management best practices
and asset lifecycle management capabilities that bridge the gap between development
and operations. IBM has
the proven expertise to help facilitate the organizational transformation
to align IT with business objectives and establish best practices for project
and portfolio management.
Quality management
Ensure software functionality,
reliability and performance in development and production. As new business
challenges arise and technology complexity increases, it is clear that testing
plays a much larger role in the success of applications for all businesses
- especially for small and midsized companies. At IBM Rational®, we provide efficient, cost
effective solutions to deliver high quality, secure, and compliant web, packaged
application software, and in house applications, optimized to improve the
responsiveness and flexibility of small and midsized businesses.
