| Development in the Cloud: Economical, Elastic, Global | Cloud computing is more than just the latest buzzword. The combination of technologies that make up "the cloud" can dramatically improve the effectiveness and efficiency of development and test organizations. This session explain IBM Rational's view of what cloud computing is and why it matters for an organization. Presenters introduce IBM Rational's cloud-based solutions that can help whether users responsible for development, test, or deployment. They also lay out the companys vision and roadmap for the future of cloud computing. | 1 hour | Presentation 1 Presentation 2 |
| Enterprise Architecture: Applying TOGAF with Rational Tools | Using TOGAF 9 as the enterprise architecture framework and IBM Rational System Architect as the tool. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Collaborative Lifecycle Management: Best Practices | IBM Rationals solution for collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) is a turnkey application lifecycle management (ALM) solution. Based on work with hundreds of customers, IBM Rational has determined the best practices to consistently delivering high-quality applications on time can be summarized by the key concepts of real-time planning, lifecycle traceability, in-context collaboration, development intelligence and continuous process improvement. These are called the five ALM imperatives. This session demonstrates how the IBM Rational solution for CLM delivers on these ALM imperatives. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Leveraging your existing ClearCase/Clearquest or Synergy/Change Investments with IBM Rational Team Concert | Organizations that are invested heavily in IBM legacy change and configuration management (CCM) solutions are often interested in the business advantages that IBM Rational Team Concert and the IBM Rational Jazz foundation can provide. But what should organizations do about their existing CCM solutions? Should they move off their current CCM environments and migrate everything over to IBM Rational Team Concert? Or is there a way to take advantage of their existing investments and the new capabilities that the IBM Rational Jazz platform and IBM Rational Team Concert provides? This presentation reviews the different options that should be considered when deciding how to introduce the latest innovations in IBM Rational Jazz. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Rational Application Developer & Software Architect Update | Successfully delivering complex software and systems requires a united cross-discipline team to collaborate, automate, optimize, and ultimately deploy. Learn what is new in IBM Rational Software Architect and Rational Application Developer. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Where Are The Facts? Best Practices for Reporting | Organizations use IBM Rational Team Concert, IBM Rational Quality Manager, and IBM Rational DOORS to effectively manage their development projects. As part of those projects, stakeholders must see how the project is progressing, and development teams must generate a report for them. But how should this reporting be done and what is the best method? This session discusses which of the reporting options is best for single- or cross-tool report generation. The session covers the benefits and drawbacks to tool-based reporting, and the Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT) versus IBM Rational Reporting Engine. Presenters offer suggestions on which tool to use for different types of reports. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| What's New in Rational Requirements Composer 3.0 | This presentation provides an overview of what is new in IBM Rational Requirements Composer 3.0 See the results and business benefits by using the new version of IBM Rational Requirements Composer for requirements management and definition over the Web to capture business requirements and manage them through to delivery. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Agile for Systems Engineering: What Does It Really Mean? | This presentation explores the myths and realities of Agile systems engineering and provides practical guidance on the approach systems engineers can apply to successfully support Agile development efforts. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Model Driven Development for Android Applications | With embedded product designs becoming more complex and product lifecycles shrinking, development efficiencies are essential. The emergence of model-driven development (MDD) has provided the opportunity to accelerate the development process. With MDD, software engineers can more clearly understand and analyze requirements, define design specifications, test systems concepts using simulation, and automatically generate code for direct deployment on the target hardware. This session presents several aspects where using MDD can help developers quicken the delivery of Android-based devices and applications. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| DOORS and Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) | This session discusses extending IBM Rational DOORS with Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC). | 1 hour | |
| The Autonomy of a Hack & how to protect yourself: XSS edition | Cross-site scripting (XSS) is one of the most known Web vulnerabilities. It is highly referenced in any technical discussion, and relatively understood. However, many security specialists, as well as others, don't fully understand how easy it is to leverage these vulnerabilities and bypass common security mechanisms such as two factor authentication and CAPTCHA. This presentation shows how severe XSS vulnerabilities really are. Presenters build a step-by-step working exploit code for an XSS vulnerability found in an online banking site to hijack user sessions, transfer money, and cover the traces. The presentation will close by showing how the AppScan family of products can detect and remediate such vulnerabilities. The presentation does not require any prior knowledge, but is aimed at technical people. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| What's new with Rational Quality Manager 3.0 | This session provides deep insight into the advances of IBM Rational Quality Manager over the past year. It also focuses on the upcoming release of IBM Rational Quality Manager 3.0. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Getting the Security Bugs Out: Integrating Application Security Testing within the Quality Assurance Lifecycle | Security Web application vulnerabilities continue to pose a significant challenge and risk to most organizations. Traditional approaches where the security team has primary responsibility for detecting these issues has resulted in bottlenecks, missed security defects, and a higher remediation cost once the vulnerabilities are found. A much better approach is to integrate security testing throughout the software development lifecycle. Many quality assurance (QA) organizations are still not active participants to ensure that security defects are not being released. This session outlines what Web application security is and the challenges organizations are facing. It includes best practices for QA teams to integrate security testing within their QA process. The session concludes with an introduction to the automated solution that IBM Rational provides to help QA teams ensure that Web applications are not being released with security defects. | 1 hour | Presentation |
| Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management Hands-On, Part 1 & 2 | The IBM Rational collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) solution, powered by IBM Rational Jazz, increases team productivity by unifying team roles (analyst, project lead, developer, and quality professional). It provides in-context collaboration on software artifacts, web-like artifact navigation, automated and auditable traceability relationships, and status tracking across team and project repositories. The integrations are provided in an open and flexible way allowing teams to choose the integrations that matter most. This hands-on workshop explores how the integrations between IBM Rational Requirements Composer, IBM Rational Team Concert, and IBM Rational Quality Manager provide a collaborative software delivery experience. | 2 hours | |
| Managing the WebSphere Environment with RAF | The IBM Rational Automation Framework for WebSphere is an extremely powerful framework for managing IBM WebSphere family product installations, maintenance, configuration, and application deployments. With over 775 actions, this framework provides an incredibly broad set of functionality. This presentation demonstrates various ways to effectively leverage this framework to manage IBM WebSphere environments. The scenarios include monitoring environments for configuration drift, promoting configuration across the environments that make up the software lifecycle, application deployment management between development/operations, and migration of IBM WebSphere versions. | 1 hour | Presentation |
