Summary
In this tutorial, you've seen how you can manage application changes by centralizing the collection of all change requests into Rational ClearQuest to assess all changes in a consistent format and determine the changes that your team has resources to implement. The integration between Rational ClearQuest and Rational RequisitePro protects requirements from unaccepted changes, provides visibility into the origin of requirement changes, and allows you to mechanically update your requirements specification with the latest changes.
The integration between Rational Application Developer and Rational ClearQuest allows developers to use the Rational ClearQuest information to help drive their development and concentrate their efforts. Because the information is available to them from within the application they are using for development, they have all the information they need without having to swap applications or view a Web site. And the easier it is for them to use the information, the more likely they are to use it. They are also more likely to use and update the Rational ClearQuest database and record the progress through the system.
In Part 4 of this series, you will use IBM Rational Application Developer to develop session beans and create pages that access your session beans using JavaServer Faces technology. In Part 5, you'll look at the role of testing packages in the development of an application.
