 | Get started
Welcome to GlobalCorp's newest development site in Dublin. This manual
is designed to bring new employees up to speed on our development toolset. Every
developer who works at this site should follow this training step by step to
become familiar with GC's development policies and procedures.
All of GC's remote development sites use IBM Rational ClearCase and
IBM Rational ClearQuest though the Rational ClearCase Remote Client. GC recently
upgraded to the newest release, Version 7.1, and the improvements to the
interface and the small install footprint make it really easy to get started.
The ClearQuest V7.1 and ClearCase V7.1 releases strengthen the ways that these
tools help us improve productivity, effectively unify distributed teams,
automate processes, improve quality, gain better visibility into projects, and
provide traceability across the software development life cycle for fast
delivery of high-quality software.
Before beginning on your training, read through this background information on
these tools from IBM:
- Rational ClearCase software provides sophisticated version control,
workspace management, and parallel development support to improve
productivity.
- Rational ClearQuest software provides flexible defect and change
tracking, process automation, reporting, and life cycle traceability for
better review and control of the development life cycle.
Let's get started by opening the updated Rational ClearCase Remote
Client interface (sometimes referred to as CCRC). It is built on the Eclipse
Rich Client Platform, so chances are that most developers are familiar with the
look and feel. Because the new version of of the remote client provides both
ClearQuest and ClearCase data, GC developers need to work from only a single
IDE. You will do all the rest of this training from this one view.
