On Demand Business focus Software delivery challenges1

1 IBM Rational research, November 2005

Responsiveness as a key competency

Effectiveness of people as a critical success factor

Revenue growth with cost containment

Keeping software projects aligned with changing business priorities

Delivering better business results within the constraints of current investments and skill sets

Effectively managing business and technical risk

Software delivery challenges for On Demand Business

®

PROJECT DRIVEN BUSINESS DRIVENTRADITIONAL CURRENT REALITY

Evolving software and systems delivery

Co-located teams

Technology led

Vendor lock-in

Application silos

Geographically distributed

Compliance

Open computing

Modular systems (SOA)

Right-sourcing

Standards

BUSINESS TRENDS

Business Driven Development

Enabling organizations to govern the business process of software and systems development

®

Business Driven DevelopmentSoftware quality challenges

Decoupled, audit-less build, deploy, rollback processes

Multiple test iterations

Rollout of competitive applications

Errors & audit/traceability

50% of applications put into production are later rolled back3

Change

Inability to quickly pinpoint problem root cause and resolve problems

Average cost $100K per hr

68% of post production application support comes from development teams; on average 30% of their time4

System Performance

Absence of iterative development / testing approaches & shared processes

End customer satisfaction

NIST study – 80% development funds spent on identifying/fixing defects2

Quality

Slow testing processes

Late discovery of defects

Lost revenue & market leadership

51% of projects in 2004 were delayed or over budget, another 15% of projects failed outright1

The Importance of Test Management

Would you go on a road trip without a map?

How would you know where to go?

How would you know how long it would take?

How would you reroute around problems?

How would you know how to do it better next time?

Automated Test Management answers these questions…

®

Test Governance and ControlTest Planning, Execution and Project tracking

Automated Test Management Track your test plans and cases

Track your requirements and defects

Execute your tests

Measure your progress

Automated Test Management is your Software Quality GPS Know where you are

Know where you’re going

Make your process predictable

ClearQuest or TestManager?Deciding when to move from TestManager to ClearQuest

Deciding when to migrate to ClearQuest from TestManager depends on how you use TestManager

Most customers will want to migrate today

Some TestManager functionality is not yet implemented in ClearQuest Manual Tests Execution of Robot scripts Distributed test execution Advanced suite scheduling

Customers relying on the above functionality might consider delaying migration until equivalent functionality is implemented in ClearQuest

The majority of new and existing customers will benefit most from the test management

features of ClearQuest
