Announcing the IBM Mobile Development Lifecycle SolutionAs mobile usage continues to grow worldwide, developing for mobile is becoming an increasingly important consideration for customers. Many customers started exploring this space by doing “one-off” projects, but we have now reached a stage where they are shifting away from that and looking for a strategic solution. While most people start thinking about mobile development in terms of code construction and testing, these are just two aspects of the overall mobile development lifecycle. To help ensure that applications are delivered on-time with high quality and meet business objectives, a comprehensive team-based mobile development solution is needed. In other words, customers not only need a runtime infrastructure for deploying and running mobile applications for multiple device ecosystems (e.g. iOS, Android), they also need a development infrastructure to support the development and delivery of these mobile applications. The new IBM Mobile Development Lifecycle Solution is developed to address both of these challenges at the same time. It integrates two things:
Key solution capabilities include: · Advanced IDE for native, hybrid and mobile web applications · Distributed team build and test integrations with the IBM Mobile Platform · “Mobile device-cloud” service integration for on-device testing · Mobile development best practices and tested integrations to accelerate productivity · Support for Agile methodologies for dealing with fast-paced development for mobile In addition, this solution can be extended to offer additional capabilities relevant to mobile with other products such as Rational Test Workbench (with Green Hat technology), Rational Application Developer, Rational Developer for System z. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:VFor more details check out the following blogs and resources:
