Background and Introduction

Who am I ?

Team Leader of Jasmine Conseil, a French

Consulting Company in Open Source Software

A JEE Evangelist working on “Agile ALM Project”

Chief Committer of JasForge Project, a

collaborative Agile Open Source project

dedicated to federate Open Source Tools in one

Dashboard Web Application

This project was first presented to EclipseConf

2010 at Ludwigsburg (Germany)

Agile ALM at a glance

ALM, what is ?

“ALM describes the coordination of development lifecycle disciplines, including the management of requirements, changes, configurations, integrations, releases, and tests…”

Application Lifecycle

Management

ALM bridges the development disciplines and

phases of requirements definition, design, code,

test, and run.

To resume, …

In summary, Agile ALM consists of the following

four major fundamentals: Collaboration — All team members are aware of what others

are doing

Integration — Achieving business targets requires an

enterprise infrastructure to integrate roles, teams, workflows,

and repositories into a responsive software delivery chain

Automation — The streamlining of the full lifecycle is heavily

based on end-to-end automation

Continuous improvement — You can improve only what you

can see and measure, so building and delivering software that

minimizes manual work is a requirement for easily identifying

where you are in your process.

ALM in Agile Project

Managing efficiently your build process:

a required step in Java complex project

Today, managing and taking control of your software process is a major challenge for maintaining is capacity to be innovative and competitive

We must manage the quality of our software development en meet the requirements and delays in a predictive mode

Each Team with each role in each project use different conventions and code quality metrics and reporting are not done systematically, or not at all

We need some orchestration solution which can manage all this constraints

Managing your own build process Choosing the right tool in your Agile Process

How to Integrate is own

Tool ?

how can we integrate those tools efficiently

across different vendor products to provide

services for the customer ?

The constraints

Traditional Tool Integration…

Closed APIs

Vendor Lock in

Tight Coupling

Dependences on internal structures

Versions incompatibilities

Using Open Standards with The Open Services

for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)

OSLC, (http://open-services.net ) is a community-driven effort,

mainly sponsored by IBM, to improve the integration of lifecycle

between tools (requirements, build Tool, defects, ...)

Core specifications V2

The OSLC program established special interest groups working

on individual ALM areas, including change management,

requirement management, and software configuration

management, providing public descriptions of interfaces for

integrating these features.

The interfaces are specified in a REST web service style.

Eclipse Lyo is the Reference Implementation for OSLC

About the OSLC-CM

specifications

OSLC-CM is a specification that seeks to

standardise bugtracker (or more precisely

Change Management applications) interfaces in

order to provide features like :

Linking DATA via http and REST APIs (JAX-RS)

ServiceProvider, enabling tools to expose there

resources and allowing consumers to navigate to all

of the resources and create new ones using

Adapters

RDF based resource description (Catalog
