		<description><![CDATA[The term &quot;return on investment&quot; (ROI) is frequently used to describe the benefit derived from investments in software and systems or other business investments. To better align software and systems investments, there are different kinds of ROI answers to different business questions: Have we received a good return on the investments to date? Should we continue to invest in the project? What will be the total ROI over the life of the software or system? This article provides the different ROI calculations to answer these questions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) and its modeling language, ArchiMate, are increasingly popular techniques for documenting and evolving the architecture of an enterprise. Several tools, including Rational System Architect support them. However, ArchiMate lacks the elements needed to describe the nonfunctional aspects of the enterprise, thereby limiting the usefulness of the resulting enterprise architecture in environments, such as cloud, where service levels are primary business requirements. This article shows how to extend the ArchiMate metamodel to build a nonfunctional model extension that goes from business to technical architecture. A simple customization is also provided to download, so that you can use the new metamodel extension in Rational System Architect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we think of computer resources in the cloud, we usually think of public
    clouds, such as the ones offered by Google or Amazon, with infrastructure or applications shared by millions of clients worldwide, through the Internet. Some organizations, because of their organizational cultures or for security or regulatory concerns, cannot move directly into public clouds, but they have the option of private clouds. Sandra Sergi Santos explains the advantages and ways to use them to optimize your investments, processes, and infrastructure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Automated testing is beneficial compared to manual testing in many ways, such as
    accuracy, saving time, resource utilization, and early regression detection. However, it is equally important that automated tests are executed in correct test environments, according to the test plan. Failing to do that could lead environment-specific defects to leak to the stakeholders. Pramod Chandoria describes how can you make sure that automated tests run on the correct machine, based on the test environment coverage planned, and mitigate the risk of leaking platform-specific issues. He also explains how to configure, manage, and run automated tests in Rational Quality Manager.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In test automation, test scripts and associated test frameworks get tied to the underlying domain of the application under test. It then becomes challenging to figure out whether the same recorded objects, scripts, and reusable functions that a framework offers will work across domains. To overcome this problem, it is essential to make the automation test scripts domain-independent. The result is that the same application objects, test scripts, and reusable functions will work across different test application domains, regardless of whether they are HTML, Java, Microsoft .NET, Microsoft Windows, and so on.]]></description>

            tools]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[Continuous deployment means deploying software changes to a development, test,
            preproduction, or production environment. It is similar to adopting continuous
            compilation and then continuous integration to build every change. Steve Arnold outlines
            the three main challenges of this approach: design, automation, and governance. Then he
            explains how using specific Rational tools for ALM, in combination with the cloud, make

		<description><![CDATA[One of the great benefits of Rational Functional Tester and its Eclipse IDE is
            that it can easily be extended with literally hundreds of useful open source components.
            Our team was challenged to consistently automate GUI Flex applications using the
            built-in support for Flex automation due to constant browser security patches. We
            resolved this problem by using open source components to keep up with the browser security updates that seem to come daily. This article
            explains how Rational Functional Tester works in combination with Selenium and
            FlexMonkium. Tim Hague provides step-by-step instructions to help you implement a
            similar solution.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Modeling is an essential step in the process of analyzing existing code so that you can
            make decisions about what gets reused. When you understand the overall architecture of the code,
            building your products into a complete product line engineering (PLE) workflow becomes much easier
            to do and to maintain. You need to understand how the code fits together, how you could best use
            it in the future, and which parts you might want to modify. The main reasons to analyze code are
            for documentation, reuse, modification, or maintenance. This article explains the keys to
            successful reuse and how to reuse code by combining code-centric development with modeling.]]></description>

An agile delivery approach can provide substantial, quantifiable business value compared to traditional approaches, but you have to do more than decide that you&apos;re going to implement agile. Many agile implementations start off with good intentions, but do not deliver on the promise of agile because of a lack of experience, plan and executive sponsorship. If you can address these challenges, your agile projects are more likely to succeed.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Top 5 tips for using agile in mission critical systems development]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[By definition, the cost of failure in mission-critical products is very high. Applying agile methods to the development of the software and systems that run them can help prevent the defects that lead to failure. Agile development methods can  improve product quality, reduce costs and the time to market, and increase the predictability of their outcomes. However, it takes some fine-tuning of agile methods so that they make sense for these complex and rigorous projects. Agile governance, dynamic planning, test-driven development, incremental development and effective risk management are the keys to successful application of agile in mission-critical systems development.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Is &quot;agile documentation&quot; an oxymoron?]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[Does the term &quot;documentation&quot; have any place in an agile environment? The goal on agile projects is to keep documentation as simple as possible, relying on roadmaps, overviews and concepts rather than enterprise-focused details. But what happens when using an agile approach on more complex projects? For example, what if the team that writes the software is different from the team that must maintain it? Or what if auditors come calling? In these instances, basic agile documentation based on user stories alone may come up short. This article provides insights into how teams can take an agile approach to documentation in more complex environments.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Strategies for performing with agility]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[The first declaration of the Agile Manifesto is &quot;individuals and interactions over processes and tools,&quot; yet this fundamental tenant seems to get lost on many agile projects.  Highly capable people guided by fundamental principles of agility are more important than any tools, technology or overly-specific processes and best practices. This article provides tips for executives, development managers, and agile team leads to strike the balance of structure and freedom so they can reap the rewards of high performance teamwork and more successful agile projects.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article explains how to configure IBM Rational
            Performance Tester to load test document editing functionality of
            the IBM FileNet Content Engine. This approach is based on the
            learning from a customer benchmark that targeted large volumes of
            content, where Rational Performance Tester was used for the first
            time to simulate document editing functionality. This article is
            particularly useful to software developers and testers who are
            trying to evaluate FileNet Content Engine performance.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Craft a SaaS-oriented vulnerability mitigation policy]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[Many businesses and industries depend on web-based software to run business processes, conduct transactions, and deliver services to customers. When a deadline looms, organizations may get frantic and sacrifice secure features to bring the application into production. This is a fast (and reactive) solution that results in a usually defective application. A better, proactive solution is to create a SaaS-oriented web application vulnerability mitigation policy (and employ a SaaS-based vulnerability scanner) into place that anticipates application vulnerabilities and has several solutions to repair them ready to go. The author will provide a roadmap to such a policy and illustrate using a scanner tool in the form of IBM Rational AppScan products.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Integration of the IBM Rational ClearCase configuration management tool with
            Cadence Design Framework II software for electronics design and automation (EDA) enables
            custom chip designers to perform ClearCase actions while in the Cadence toolset. This
            makes parallel development, co-development, and co-management of hardware and software
            domains and artifacts possible. Having common SCM tools for hardware and software
            development results in more flexibility in system integration and offers several other
            advantages. This article describes those advantages and some of the important features
            of the ClearCase-Cadence integration.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[A reusable objectless automation framework for Rational Functional Tester]]></title>
		
		<description><![CDATA[In this detailed analysis, the author explains design of an automation framework
            that is independent of the objects in the application under test. The framework is
            centered on the concept of creating objects dynamically at runtime, rather than
            recording and storing them in object maps. By using the design advocated in this
            article, you can develop a reusable automation test framework that can be imported into
            any Rational Functional Tester development environment. As a bonus, it also drastically
            reduces the development and execution time of test scripts.]]></description>
