How many times have you heard
this: "The build worked fine on my machine, I don't know why the integration
build didn't work." Or the desperate email from the build engineer at 4:30 that
pleads "we need to get everyone's source code checked in and all of the
libraries synced up by 6:00 pm so we can run a final build overnight."
These situations, and many
more like them, are the result of decentralized build and release management
practices. And to make matters worse, they are the norm. Most companies today
have very decentralized, uncontrolled policies and practices in place to manage
the build and release process. So while organizations have invested
substantially in source code configuration management systems and automated
testing systems, the bridge between them has largely been left to manual and
ad-hoc practices.

 This Webcast zeroes
in on an how an integrated IBM solution, Rational ClearCase, Rational
ClearQuest and Tivoli Provisioning Manager are used to create reliable,
repeatable automated processes, meet compliance requirements, bringing
applications to market faster. Competitive pressures, market demands, and
the need to reduce expenses have intensified the demands put on companies to
develop and deploy their software applications as quickly, efficiently and cost
effective. Regulatory requirements and industry mandates are forcing companies
to assess their applications from development to production. Companies
integrate and automate their development and deployment processes to improve
operational efficiencies, eliminates risk, and reduces time and cost.

Explore the
diverse requirements for distributed access including various methods of
distributed access provided by IBM Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest,
and learn about the suitability of each method for various organizational
models. Whether through mergers and acquisitions,
joint development efforts with partners or customers, home-office work forces,
or outsourced development, increasingly there is a mounting need for
organizations to support multiple methods of distributed access to their
development assets. The suitability of each approach depends on the nature of
the organizational distribution. By listening to this webcast you will gain
greater insight as to the approach that will help your team to adopt an
approach that maps to your organizational model.

Developers
Developer self-service. Immediate feedback. Product Quality. Build Forge makes it easy for developers to run builds faster, more often. And you can run your own builds right from your Eclipse, or .NET IDE before you check-in to source control. You don’t have to leave your work environment to use all the same processes as your CM’s. If the code works, you can do a full test against production systems on your own. And if there’s an error, Build Forge sends you an error log so that you can fix x the problem right then. With Build Forge, source adaptors do all the work monitoring systems like Clear Case, Star Team and Perforce – if there’s new code, it automatically triggers a code-build-test cycle. It also has a great option that includes dependency managers for ANT, Make and .Net that break your scripts down automatically– no changes required. Then the work is distributed out to Build Forge servers to run in parallel. That’s making builds go faster and your life easier.
Build Forge enables you to check in with confidence - you no longer have to worry about being the guy who broke the build.

IBM Rational Build Forge provides a flexible build and
release management framework that turns disconnected tools and scripts
into a cohesive, integrated, production build and release process. As a
result, teams are able to collaborate more effectively, create highly
scalable build operations, and manage compliance requirements. IBM
Rational Build Forge centralizes, automates, and documents the entire
build and release process - eliminating manual tasks and human handoffs
that lead to build errors, schedule slips, and divisive finger
pointing. It integrates with version control, test, and defect tracking
systems to provide complete documentation and traceability to answer
critical questions such as "what changed from the previous version",
"who made changes and why", and, "what defects were resolved" for each
release.
