IBM Rational ClearCase

IBM Rational ClearCase is the solution for management of a software setup providing control facilities of versions, managements of work areas, supports of parallel development and control of configuration.

Description

Integration of Rational ClearCase into other solutions of IBM is possible:

• IBM Rational Team Concert,
• IBM Rational ClearQuest,
• IBM Rational Asset Manager
• IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software.

Advantages

• The solution Rational ClearCase can be adapted for the working groups of any number, from small commands to the large, geographically distributed collectives.
• Control of versions and management of work areas helps to manage files, directories and other resources of development at different stages of lifecycle.
  • Rational ClearCase allows to manage the source code, libraries, documentation, binary files, web artifacts and almost all project artifacts which can be presented in the form of digital materials.
  • Rational ClearCase also manages support of versions for directories, subdirectories and all subjects of the file system.
  • Additional functions allow to delete the previous versions, to create and delete branches, to show to chronology of versions and also to compare and integrate versions.

• The integrated change management in the course of joint work provides management of the arising questions and changes up to problem solving.
• Expanded parallel development in the construction has automatic branching and expanded technology of consolidation and determination of differences.
  • Automatic function of branching of files isolates certain changes or versions, allowing several developers in one or different collectives independently to work from one basis of the code.
  • Functions of consolidation and determination of differences accept indisputable changes and select the clashing changes for permission.

• Effective protection of IP supports and suggests to use electronic signatures, identification of users for the protected and controlled access, the control magazines helping to observe requirements to compatibility and management.
• Responsible control of configuration assists in rationalization of the cycle "change-configuration-debugging" and recreates software versions.
  • provides configuration control For simplification of management of Rational ClearCase.
  • Rational ClearCase allows to create the detailed list of materials which can be used for automatic detection of that moment when the grouped objects can repeatedly or be shared by the developers working with several panels.
  • It is possible to integrate Rational ClearCase with IBM Rational Build Forge for automation of process of management of configuration and release.

• Monitoring of defects is Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest allow to define changes of resources of the software and to manage them as groups of actions, i.e. to exercise so-called change management on the basis of actions.
  • Versions of files in Rational ClearCase integrate in logical groups and contact change requests in Rational ClearQuest that allows to manage tasks at the level of tasks, but not by management of separate files.
