From Agile to DevOps

7

The Development Landscape has shifted!

8

Late 90’s: Focus on Point ToolsWho can build the best Java IDE, the best Cobol IDE, the best Web Tool,…

When we built Eclipse: Focus on One Developer

Seamless integration across a set of tools to improve the productivity of one developer

Today, we must focus on the Team and its Collaboration

Geographically Distributed

Agility with Predictability

Innovation and Repeatability

Increased Need for Transparency

Breaking the Silos

Accelerated Delivery Demands

Improve the Productivity of:• The Entire Team

• The Entire Process

Is the Software Delivery important for your organization?

10

86% of companies believe software delivery

is important or critical

But only…

25% leverage software delivery effectively today

DevOps principles• Contraction for “Development and Operations”

• Accelerate software delivery• For faster Time to Value

• Balance speed, cost, quality and risk• For increased capacity to innovate

• Reduce time to customer feedback• For improved customer experience

• Develop and test against production-like systems

• Monitor and validate operational quality

ARCAD – Audit – What’s the issue?

• Designed for those with legacy applications

– Older information systems

– Obsolete components

– Multiple sources for an object

– Etc.

• Who need to improve them

– Expand a field?

– Add a graphical front end?

– Develop web services?

• So YOU BETTER CLEAN YOUR ROOM!

ARCAD – Audit – Why this tool?

• Analyzes your code

– Populates a database with inter-relationships between

components

– Find what components are no longer used

• Provides tools to correct anomalies, it can:

– Compare

– Archive

– Compile

– Delete

• Leaves an audit trail

– Everything you do is traceable

• Secured delivery with Rollback on error

ARCAD-Deliver

31

ARCAD - Deliver

• Traceability of relationships between artifacts“Managing dependencies between high-priority change requests and ongoing

application development efforts “sometimes seems like it isn’t humanly possible.” (US healthcare company)

• Automation of high level processes“We had a consulting company define a methodology for us. We still have it on a

shelf somewhere. A process needs to live in the tools we use if it's ever going to be followed.” (Transportation company)

“Automating our build-deploy-test processes would probably save each of our developers about an hour a day.” (Financial services firm)

• Reporting provides visibility“We do progress reporting the same way we've been doing it for 40 years. It's all

manual: weekly status meetings, progress reports, demonstrations. We’d love to get test results from nightly builds posted somewhere instead of having to run people down to ask them whether things are working yet.” (Bank)

Why Rational Team Concert?
