Jazz as a research platform: experience from the Software Development Governance Group at IBM Research

چکیده
Does the Rational Jazz platform provide adequate services to facilitate the creation of research prototypes in an end-to-end, full lifecycle domain like software development governance? Jazz is a platform for seamlessly integrating development activities, artifacts, and teams throughout the software lifecycle. The Software Development Governance group—whose vision is to help businesses and IT organizations understand and increase the delivered value of software while managing the risk—has been using Jazz to implement research prototypes that promote developer communications, management of decision rights and decision points during software development processes, and the scheduling of software projects. We also used Rational Team Concert (RTC)—an Eclipse-based development platform built on Jazz—to aid our own globally distributed development efforts. This paper describes our experiences extending and using Jazz and RTC. It also provides some recommendations for other researchers considering extending the Jazz platform.

متن کاملLeveraging the Jazz Platform for Developing an Agile Planning Tool
Tools often need to be integrated in and evaluated within a whole development process. Research ideas often impact only a small part of this process, but the impact of the idea can realistically only be determined when it is integrated properly in the whole process. This implies that if the new tool is not integrated with other tools, its usefulness for the practitioner is often limited. Resear...
