In this session, CaliberRM is used to provide key custom management reports that let us know exactly how well we are delivering against project requirements. Utilizing an agile process, with a light amount of accountability, we are able to accurately estimate client valued functionality, delivery dates, and track our progress towards completion.

StarTeam is much more than just a file management system. In this session, we see how StarTeam is an enabler for successful agile-based projects. First, we review an iterative and incremental process and how it is key to delivering frequent client-valued functionality. Next, we review a request process implemented in StarTeam that when combined with frequent iterations, allows us to anticipate and embrace changes from the client. Next, we look at a method of view (workspace) management which automates the delivery of the client-valued functionality. Finally, we review some basic strategies that utilize StarTeam to define the management of our repository across various project roles and provides a coherent strategy for the delivery of all artifacts, including the integration of StarTeam with other Borland products such as Together and CaliberRM.

User stories (requirements) fluctuate and evolve more when using an agile process than with traditional processes. In situations where the active customer is not possible, having a framework to manage the stories and promote communications increases the likelihood of success. This session discusses the features needed in such a framework and shows how CaliberRM fulfills this need.

Richard Gronback http://gp.codegear.com/authors/edit/1708.aspx http://conferences.embarcadero.com/article/33154 2005-12-15T16:37:18-08:00 2005-12-15T16:37:18-08:00

The application of static source code analysis has been used to streamline the code review process and improve the quality and maintainability of software applications. As model-driven development practices mature and models become increasingly important, the analysis of models by automated tooling can aid in ensuring quality and maintainability prior to code generation. This presentation focuses on the techniques and practices associated with refactoring models using automated analysis tooling.

Combining JBuilder and StarTeam Enterprise Advantage gives your team the ability to implement and deploy an integrated development process making it easy to get the right information at the right time, reducing confusion and improving productivity. This presentation covers some of the advanced techniques that you can use to customize the change request, task and requirement forms and apply workflows to each of these categories of development process information. In addition to a review of the basic workflow and form customization features, several advanced techniques are discussed and demonstrated using JBuilder including the development of custom tools StarTeam. These techniques include layout techniques, inter-field dependencies, and automatic promotion of changes based on the user-defined workflow. Real-world examples of these techniques used in large development organizations are presented.

Application integration requirements are often managed in lengthy documents or spreadsheets that are manually created and maintained and thus, are inherently error prone. Message profile specifications may be many hundreds of elements long and require manual inspection to determine where message profile conflicts exist and transformation logic is needed. In this session, learn how to automate and effectively manage detailed message profile integration requirements using CaliberRM in conjunction with capabilities developed using the CaliberRM SDK.

Whether looking for information, instruction, or a solution, most developers instinctively consult the Web when faced with a problem or challenge. Often, especially in large organizations, another team has already solved the same or similar problem. Borland Search allows your organization to search inward for a solution before looking outward. Additionally, you can quickly locate information regarding problems and their solutions. With this data you can reduce the time spent researching a problem and promote code re-use within your organization.

Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a relatively new graphical notation for capturing business procedures and provides organizations the ability to communicate these procedures in a standard format. Such a standard encourages collaboration, and helps business analysts ask the right questions about internal and B2B business processes and can help insure that they get the right answers. In this session, learn effective, best practice techniques for conducting requirements elicitation with BPMN.
