New & Noteworthy for Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager 6.0.6 RC1


Description
Working in Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager CE Connector for IoT

The IBM Continuous Engineering (CE) development tools and methods combined with the IBM Watson IoT Platform and IBM IoT Connection Service help development teams to design and implement complex, reliable, and secure IoT solutions. The CE Connector for IoT  is now available in Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager and it supports scalable development of IBM Watson IoT Platform and IoT Connection Service solutions.

IoT solutions have many components that are typically hosted on multiple runtime environments and developed by multiple teams. Coordinating across these teams while designing, building, and evolving an enterprise solution is especially challenging.

In this release of Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, the connector allows teams to extend their development practices by including the teams who build IoT solution components with IBM Watson IoT Platform or IoT Connection Service. With the connector you can work with views of your IoT solution, including IoT Platform and IoT Connection Service devices. You can link these IoT Platform or IoT Connection Service artifacts to any other artifact in the Continuous Engineering solution, such as requirements, work items, or test cases. You can also use Rational Engineering Lifecycle Management for traceability and impact analysis of potential changes to your IoT solutions.

The connector provides an OSLC server that exposes Watson IoT Platform or IoT Connection Service artifacts using standard OSLC capabilities. The IoT Platform or IoT Connection Service artifacts participate in change management, impact analysis, requirements-driven development, requirements-driven testing, and other common development practices.

These are some of the main features:

  • Suite of end-to-end capabilities such as requirements, change and configuration management, quality management, traceability and impact analysis, Watson IoT Platform, and IoT Connection Service.
  • Simplifies navigation across the environments
  • Traceability across the development lifecycle
  • Enabling teams using different tools and development practices to collaborate in building reliable IoT solutions
  • Tailored solution offerings that match the problem space and end user skill levels
