Collaborate with RAD and other rational products to improve software development productivity

Rational application Developer can integrate with other rational products and provide extended support for third parties. This topic, composed of two articles, gives the Rational application Developer and Ibm®rational team concert™ and ibm®jazz™ technology, Ibm®rational®asset Manage Overview of the integration of R, Ibm®rational®requisitepro® and ibm®rational®clearquest®. The author discusses the installation, configuration, requirements, use cases, and restrictive factors. You will learn how to apply these integrations during software development in the Rational application Developer environment, from requirements management to traceability, to implementation and maintenance, to the management of reusable resources.

This article is an overview of the integration of Ibm®rational®application Developer with some other Rational products:

Ibm®rational®asset Manager

ibm®rational®clearquest®

ibm®rational®requisitepro®

Ibm®rational Team Concert™

The author explores features, features, and example use cases to illustrate the ways in which Rational application Developer users benefit from these integrations.

An overview of Rational application Developer

The rational application Developer provides users with the ability to leverage features in other Rational products through product integration capabilities. Typically, a developer may need to perform functions, report status, and use features that are not built into the integrated development environment (IDE). In order to perform these required operations, they may need to leave the IDE, open other programs, and these operations there. The product integration features available in Rational application Developer enable developers to stay in their development environment while also handling integrated products. They use the Rational application Developer integration features to be used by other users of integrated products in the environment.

Integration between rational application Developer and rational Asset Manager

The great thing about Rational Asset Manager is that organizations that are interested in resource management are willing to manage all types of resources so that people can work together to build and deliver software products. When you are installing and integrating with the rational application Developer development environment, Rational Asset Manager provides resource management features such as resource Review, adoption, release, traceability, usage monitoring, and reuse. This collaborative tool can be used for strategic planning and management. Repositories can classify and provide access control to the submitted resources. Provides statistical and reporting tools. By using the Rational Asset Manager software, you can categorize resources according to the categories defined by your company, mark them with labels, and find them in full text search, or use search filtering rules.

In addition, Rational Asset Manager provides methods that integrate with other IBM products, such as ibm®rational®clearcase®, Rational ClearQuest, and Ibm®websphere®servic e Registry and Repository. Customizable rational Asset Manager libraries can be preconfigured for specific rational application Developer resource types, constraints, attributes, or class scenarios. The import library allows it to be used with the Rational application Developer artifacts.

Rational Asset Manager works with a variety of hardware and operating systems, and provides two types of interfaces: The Web and the Eclipse-based client.
