This article discusses how combining IBM change and release management and quality management solutions works to provide an application lifecycle management framework for SAP projects. IBM® Rational® RequisitePro®, IBM® Rational® ClearQuest®, IBM® Rational® Functional Tester, and IBM® Rational® Performance Tester all integrate into SAP and, together, provide consistent governance for requirements, change, and quality management, including defect and test management.
The IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform enables organizations to better govern the business process of software and systems delivery by applying proven processes and end-to-end software lifecycle management. Delivery doesn’t apply only to custom software developed in-house; it also applies to the range of custom, packaged, and third-party applications that enterprises need to integrate when developing business solutions. This article explains how Rational software can help manage this process to give you better alignment, control, and efficiency in integrating, building, and maintaining software and software-based systems.
After reading the article, download the IBM Rational Extensions for SAP Applications code package containing a set of project templates for Rational RequisitePro and Rational ClearQuest. This material facilitates capturing requirements and effectively managing lifecycle activities associated with SAP implementation, upgrade and integration projects.
