All About Jazz Team Server Technology
1 like2,681 views
Rational Team Concert is IBM's tool for team collaboration powered by the Jazz platform. The Jazz platform provides middleware services that allow tools to communicate by listening to and sending standardized events, reducing complexity compared to direct tool integration. The high-level Jazz architecture includes Rational Team Concert for source control, work items, and building; and a Jazz server with extensions that provides team services like presence and chat. Jazz aims to improve team productivity by providing awareness of teams, artifacts, responsibilities and processes to help avoid issues like broken builds.

- 2. IBM Rational Software Motivation and Goals © 2008 IBM Corporation Why are we doing Jazz? The Development Landscape has shifted! Late 90’s: Focus on Point Tools Late 90’s: Focus on Point Tools Who can build the best Java IDE, the best C IDE, the best Web Tool,… When we built Eclipse: Focus on One Developer When we built Eclipse: Focus on One Developer Seamless integration across a set of tools to improve the productivity of one developer Today, we must focus on the Team and its Collaboration Today, we must focus on the Team and its Collaboration Geographically Distributed Accelerated Delivery Demands Agility with Predictability Improve the Productivity Improve the Productivity of of the Entire Team the Entire Team Innovation and Repeatability Increased Need for Transparency 4 From the Eclipse Way to Jazz © 2008 IBM Corporation 2
- 3. Jazz: Forces in Motion ALM ALM Eclipse Eclipse Experience Experience “Web 2.0” “Web 2.0” Agile Agile Practices Practices 5 © 2008 IBM Corporation The demand for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) • Traceability of relationships between artifacts “Managing dependencies between high-priority change requests and ongoing application development efforts “sometimes seems like it isn’t humanly possible.” (US healthcare company) • Automation of high level processes “We had a consulting company define a methodology for us. We still have it on a shelf somewhere. A process needs to live in the tools we use if it's ever going to be followed.” (Transportation company) “Automating our build-deploy-test processes would probably save each of our developers about an hour a day.” (Financial services firm) • Reporting provides visibility “We do progress reporting the same way we've been doing it for 40 years. It's all manual: weekly status meetings, progress reports, demonstrations. We’d love to get test results from nightly builds posted somewhere instead of having to run people down to ask them whether things are working yet.” (Bank) A Forrester Research report, “The Changing Face of Application Life-cycle Management” 6 6 From the Eclipse Way to Jazz © 2008 IBM Corporation 3

Social Networking – Power of communities • Wikipedia on Web 2.0: – • a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services … that facilitate collaboration and sharing between users In the opening talk of the first Web 2.0 conference, Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle summarized what they saw as key principles of Web 2.0: – the web as a platform – data as the driving force – network effects created by an architecture of participation – innovation in assembly of systems and sites composed by pulling together features from distributed, independent developers (a kind of "open source" development) – lightweight business models enabled by content and service syndication – the end of the software adoption cycle ("the perpetual beta") – software above the level of a single device, leveraging the power of The Long Tail. – ease of picking-up by early adopters 7 © 2008 IBM Corporation From Eclipse to Jazz • Eclipse Phenomena – – – – 2.5 millions downloads (Eclipse 3.3) 6 years shipping on time More than 20 projects delivered on top of Eclipse 17 millions LOC • Why? – – – Extensible Platform Based on Open Standards Eclipse Community • How?
