Accelerating Product and Service Innovation | Rational

Rational Background

Rational was founded in 1981 by Mike Devlin and Paul Levy to create a commercially

available environment for improving the processes associated with software development -- a

goal that led to the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the Rational Unified Process (RUP).

In 2003, IBM completed a $2.1B acquisition of Rational, which was then integrated into IBM

as the fifth brand of IBM Software Group. Since the acquisition, IBM has invested a significant

amount of resource in the Rational software organization, and has added several other

acquisitions within Rational to fill out its portfolio of solutions to address all aspects of

software delivery.

Innovation is increasingly being driven by software

IEEE Software, March/April 2010.

Mobile banking will be

the most widely used banking

channel by 2020,

if not sooner

Today, electronics drive

about 80% of the automotive

industry’s functional innovation,

and software is the key to most of it

NEW!!! What is Test Virtualization?

Test Virtualization enables to create “virtual

services”:

–Virtual Services simulate the behavior of an

entire application or system during testing

–Virtual Services can run on commodity hardware,

private cloud, public cloud

–Each developer, tester can easily have their

own test environment

–Developer and testers continue to use their

testing tools (Manual, Web performance, UI test

automation)

System dependencies is a key challenge in

setting up test environments:

Unavailable/inaccessible: Testing is constrained

due to production schedules, security restrictions,

contention between teams, or because they are still

under development

Costly 3rd party access fees: Developing or testing

against Cloud-based or other shared services can

result in costly usage fees

Impractical hardware-based virtualization:

Systems are either too difficult (mainframes) or remote

(third-party services) to replicate via traditional

hardware-based virtualization approaches

Test Lab costs

• Test lab infrastructure costs can be reduced by up to 90%

• Labor involved in setting up test environments can be reduced by

80%+

• Reduced or eliminated the cost of invoking 3rd party systems for non-

production use, fee-based web services

Cycle Time

• Test environments can be configured in minutes vs weeks

• More testers can be focused on testing, rather than configuring test

environments

• More regression testing can be done independently from the User

Interface, during development

Risk

• Developers have the means to test software earlier at the Service/API

level

• Large teams working on different parts of an application or system can

effectively do parallel development by virtualizing different parts of the

system
