SCM Administrators extremely busy running their antiquated inefficient factories …

Unfulfilled Vendor Promises

Grassroots influx

Developers want modern lightweight tools

GIT, Jenkins, Plugin extensibility

Collaboration

Our Strategy

Rationalize ALM Tools

Socialize Current State

Propose three ALM Stacks (OSS, Rational, Microsoft)

Governance

Lead the way

State of ALM – Rear View Mirror

The most amount of divergence was in Source Control and Build Automation tools:

ClearCase (75%), Subversion (10%), PVCS (5%), GitHub Enterprise (5%), CVS (2%)

BuildForge (70%); Bamboo (10%), Ant Hill Pro (5%), OSS Hudson (5%); OSS Jenkins (5%); Cruisecontrol (2%)

10

Preferred ALM Stacks – Go Forward

Three stacks:

1. OSS (Open Source Software) • Git Stash

• Cloudbees Jenkins

2. Rational • RTC, RRC, RQM

• Addresses both Distributed and Mainframe platforms (System Z)

3. Microsoft • Team Foundation Server

• .NET / C#

Sonar, Fortify, QC, Nexus are common to all three stacks

Working to Close Gaps

Application Release Automation (Deployment)

IBM Urbancode Deploy

Code Review Tools

Smartbear Code Collaborator

Atlassian Crucible

Test Automation Frameworks

These tend to be domain specific

Cucumber

Selenium

SOATest

What Matters in ALM Tools for the Enterprise?

Scalability

Vertical & Horizontal (“Project Move”)

Openness

Integrations, Extensibility

Multi-Tenancy

Delegation of Appropriate Admin Privs

Product Roadmaps

High Availability Product & Database Architecture

Security – Access Appropriate to Role

Scoped Role Based LDAP Integration

Audit Trail

Reporting Capability

Cost Purge or Data Archival Capability

Strong Desire to Avoid Vendor Lock-in

Pilot of Continuous Delivery

HRAP Program (2012)

Identification & round-up of apps

From multiple ClearCase & BuildForge implementations

Perfect Opportunity …

Talented set of release engineers • Tired of legacy tools

• Eager to use new tools

• Eager to integrate & automate

Cloudbees Jenkins • Cloudbees is to Jenkins what Red Hat was to Linux

Atlassian GitStash

ANT Maven

SonarQube

NexusPro • Staging Suite

Role Based Access Model

Enterprise GitStash

Build Management

Git Stash

Continuous Build

• Java: ANT Maven\

• .NET: MSBuild

Continuous Integration

Enterprise Jenkins (Cloudbees)

• Plugins: Folders, Templates, RBAC, Build Flow, Pipeline

Q1 2014 – Pilot phase

Q2 2014 – GA
