2. Overview of rational products 2.1. ClearCase2.1.1. Overview

ClearCase is an excellent software version control tool and software resource configuration management tool in the industry. In actual software development, Version Control Using ClearCase can achieve real-meaning parallel development, improve development efficiency. ClearCase has two Application Methods: Base ClearCase and UCM ClearCase. These two methods have different concepts, functions, and application scopes: because the concept of Base ClearCase is relatively simple and has a single function, it is easy to master, it is suitable for the development of small software projects. UCM ClearCase involves many concepts and has complicated logic. It provides richer and more comprehensive functions, therefore, it is widely used in the development of large-scale software systems.

ClearCase is a configuration management tool, but one of the SCM management tools. It is a configuration management tool developed by RATIONAL. It is similar to VSS and CVS, but has more powerful functions than VSS and CVS and can be integrated with WINDOWS Resource Manager, it can also be integrated with many development tools. However, the configuration administrator has high requirements.

ClearCase is mainly used for complex product distribution, distributed team cooperation, and parallel development and maintenance tasks, including supporting the Client/Server network structure in today's popular software development environments. In the fierce market competition, the characteristics of ClearCase directly respond to the needs of the software team, such as software production, release, and maintenance. In some ways, ClearCase is different from other software configuration management systems. In essence, ClearCase is incomparable because it contains a complete set of Software Configuration Management Tools with transparent structure and friendly interface. Although ClearCase is an integrated environment, we can still divide all the features of ClearCase into four specific functional categories.

1. Version Control

ClearCase automatically tracks changes to each file and directory, and supports parallel development through the branch and merge functions. In a software development environment, ClearCase can specify each object type (including source code, binary files, directory content, executable files, documents, test packages, compilers, and library files) implement version control. Therefore, ClearCase provides far more capabilities than resource control, and helps teams establish a secure and reliable version history for each type of information they process when developing software.

2. workspace management

ClearCase provides each developer with consistency, flexibility, and reusable workspace domains (sometimes called "Sandboxes. ClearCase uses an innovative technology called View, which can select an appropriate version of each file or directory of the specified task and present them. View allows developers to achieve a balance between resource code sharing and independent changes to private code, making their work more effective.

3. Establish management

ClearCase automatically generates a list of software system constructor document information, and can completely and reliably reconstruct Any constructor environment. ClearCase also supports effective software construction by sharing binary files and executing multiple scripts concurrently.

4. Process Control

ClearCase has a flexible and powerful function that can clarify the project design process. Automatic regular logs can monitor who modified, modified, and implemented the software. For example, different authorizations can be granted to all personnel to prevent some modifications, A Team member should be immediately notified of an event at any time to establish a permanent record for the development process and maintain it continuously.

2.1.2. Advantages

ClearCase helps development organizations of all sizes conduct more effective development and maintenance, enhance competitiveness, increase revenue, and reduce costs. Special Benefits of unique ClearCase:

Increase team efficiency-implemented through support for parallel development, including graphical comparison and merging, labels, and version directory structure.

Increase personal efficiency-it is achieved through automatic workspace management, such as direct version access, eliminating the waste of time on copying files.

Simple maintenance and improved customer support-achieved through rapid and accurate reconstruction of previous versions.

Fast and accurate product release-this is achieved by ensuring the accuracy of construction and version control of each component of the software.

Reduce the occurrence of errors-this is achieved by tracking changes to each component after an event occurs.

Hardware resources are optimized through distributed construction, file copy reduction, and sharing of available objects.

Improve project coordination and preparation-implemented through file comments and automatic association of changes in the development cycle phase.

Improve Product Quality-use flexible process control and graphical interface customization to ensure software development is consistent in reality.

More effective team expansion-achieved by reducing the burden of system management and maintenance.

Support distributed structure for Team growth-Multi-Point replication and timely object version updates through the Client/Server structure.

Use configuration management tools to reduce risks-because it does not interfere with the work of software programmers, you can use common tools and file system interfaces.

Added software security and protection-by using a distributed storage structure, all software resources will be updated at any time, and the version information stored by ClearCase will be restored immediately when there is an error on the hard disk or network.

Reduces training and implementation costs-ClearCase is implemented through transparent structure and integration with standard development tools.

Strong development and maintenance-integration with other tools (such as defect tracking), systems, and structures.

Supports different types of development-Software Configuration Management systems compatible with different platforms, such as Windows NT, UNIX, and some Client-side software, such: windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.1, and Windows for Workgroups.

2.2. ClearQuest2.2.1. Overview

ClearQuest is a defect and change management tool provided by IBM Rational. It reflects the complete lifecycle of a BUG. from submission to closure, it records all the change history of a BUG. It tracks and manages task records such as software defects or features. Provides query customization and multiple chart reports. Each query can be customized to meet different management process requirements.

In actual development, it plays an important role in ensuring the quality of software products and coordinating cooperation between development teams. ClearQuest is highly configurable and can adapt to almost all automated process designs. It also supports user-defined, workflow-supported (customizable state machine), fields, forms, and email notifications.

ClearQuest can be deployed in two architecture modes. To use the CS architecture, the client must install ClearQuest software, and the server must install the database management system. In BS mode, in addition to building a database server, you also need to build a Web server so that you can use a browser to log on to the ClearQuest system.

2.2.2. Advantages

ClearQuest is a benchmark for change management tools. No one doubts the functions of ClearQuest. ClearQuest provides powerful customization functions and can be considered as a secondary development platform of the change management system. Its powerful query and report customization functions provide reliable data support for change measurement analysis. It is seamlessly integrated with ClearCase to completely track changes. In addition to WEB access, ClearQuest also provides desktop clients, including three main parts: user interface, core part of database interface, and requirement change management process definition interface.

UCM is an excellent unified change management model provided by IBM Rational. The configuration management tool ClearCase adopts the UCM method combined with the change management tool ClearQuest to achieve unified management of changes and configuration management, and supports code reuse using components, the development stream and integration stream are used to support the ordering of branches. By combining the change set with ClearQuest, you can clearly query the modified files and content associated with the change task.

Rational ClearQuest is a highly flexible and scalable defect and change tracking system that can capture and track all types of change requests (such as product defects, enhancement requests, document changes, and so on ). Rational ClearQuest provides customizable workflows for defect tracking and management, making it easier for development teams:

L allocate activities to a specific developer

L identifies priority, current status, and other information related to the activity (such as owner, estimated duration, and impact level)

L Automatic Generation of queries, reports, and charts

The ClearQuest workflow engine can be flexibly adjusted based on the needs of the development team or the development process: If the development team needs to deploy quickly, it can also be customized, directly use the pre-defined change process, forms, and relevant rules of ClearQuest. When the development team needs to customize the pre-defined process, clearQuest can be used for all aspects of their change process-including the status transition lifecycle of defects and change requests, database fields, user interface (form) layout, reports, customize charts and queries.

 

2.3. DOORS2.3.1. Overview

DOORS Enterprise Requirements Suite (ERS) is a comprehensive and powerful demand management tool that can work for different people at different stages throughout the software lifecycle (for example: project managers, system analysts, developers, and end users) provide requirements description, identification, and management, and support multiple users to manage large and complex projects in parallel.

DOORS/ERS provides a comprehensive solution for demand management. It provides three environments for editing requirements: document or table-based database environments (DOORS) and Internet-based Web environments (DOORSnet), MS Word-based environment (DOORSrequireIT ). As the core program of DOORS/ERS, DOORS can capture, connect, track, analyze, and manage information to ensure that the project and Requirement Specification descriptions are consistent with the standards.

It provides all the features you need to capture, track, and manage user needs. Using a WORD-like interface, you can directly enter the requirement in DOORS.

You can also import requests from files in multiple formats to the DOORS. These formats include:

· Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook

· Common (ASCII) Text

· Rich Text Format (RTF)

· FrameMaker

· Interleaf

Once you have captured your needs in DOORS, you can use multiple features throughout the project lifecycle, such as view, link, and trackability analysis, to track and manage them.

2.3.2. Advantages

DOORS is a database-based tool. All the required data is stored in a single database: Unified

The customer operation interface provides a unified data source. In addition, DOORS supports cross-platform operations, such as accessing the DOORS database on UNIX from a windows client.

This architecture avoids the complexity of multiple operation interfaces, such as switching the screen back and forth, and also avoids

Because it is difficult to achieve unified security management for multiple data sources, it also avoids

Step, the performance problems caused by the running of background scripts.

Security and performance are important reasons why DOORS can become the best demand management tool in the industry. This is also a key requirement for enterprise-level applications.

Security: DOORS has the concepts of users and roles. Different users and groups have different permission requirements and are authorized to perform different operations. DOORS provides users with simple, powerful, and complete security mechanisms. The security level can be set up at the entire database or project level, and the project team can be divided. The minimum granularity can be a certain requirement item of a document and the attributes of objects, for example, only users with certain permissions can view, modify, or delete the content or attributes.

Doors provides flexible permission control, including read-only, modification, creation, deletion, and management. Permission

Control can be implemented for each user in each database, project directory, file, requirement item, and attribute.
