38
Eclipse Overview
  • Managed by The Eclipse Foundation
  • An open platform for development and intends to
    extend into testing and management areas
  • Its focus is on architecture and infrastructure
    for integration of tools, not on features and
    functions
  • Enjoys a strong EcoSystem with over 90 Members
  • Very large open source community
  • 70 projects hosted by Eclipse
  • 50 Million downloads globally
  • 780 available commercial plug-ins/extensions
  • Strong focus on Enterprise
  • Greater than 60 market share of Java Developers
  • Source code is provided under a royalty free
    license

39
Vendor Eclipse Adoption Trends
  • Actuate - leading the Business Intelligence
    Project
  • BEA - porting WebLogic Workshop and leading
    Web Tools Project
  • Borland - porting its tool suite leading
    Modeling Tools Project
  • CA leading the System Management Project
  • Compuware committed
  • IBM - leading Java Developer Tools Project
    IBM/Rational committed
  • Segue committed
  • Serena leading the ALF Project
  • Sybase leading the Data Tools Project

40
Enterprise Adoption Trends
  • Both Forrester and Gartner expect Eclipse to have
    a significant impact on AD tool choice
  • Forrester reports that over 50 of enterprises
    are using Eclipse in someway
  • OpenSource tools are entering the enterprise at
    the grass roots level and adoption moves upward

41
Why is Eclipse So Popular Amongst Enterprises?
  • Users no longer have to decide between
    best-of-breed and integrated suites They can
    have both
  • Users can easily mix and match tools of their
    choice
  • No vendor lock-in
  • Disrupts conventional pricing and licensing
    models
  • Tool integration is not dependent on vendor
    partnerships

Test Performance Tool Platform (TPTP)
  • An open development platform supplying frameworks
    and services for test and performance tools that
    are used throughout the software lifecycle
  • TPTP tools will form a testers workbench, not a
    quality management or test management platform
  • Today, the project is very developer test
    oriented
  • Goal is to reduce the cost and complexity of
    implementing effective automated testing

44
Who Is TPTP for?
  • Primary audience
  • Vendors building products or solutions in the
    test and performance domain
  • Examples
  • IBM/Rational Application Developer
  • iCandle Pathwai Performance Analyzer
  • Segue SilkPerformer CTE
  • Secondary audience
  • Organizations building homegrown solutions to
    address test and performance needs of their
    development teams

45
TPTP Participants
  • Intel
  • IBM
  • Segue Software
  • Scapa Technologies
  • Compuware
  • Computer Associates
  • OC Systems
  • SAP
  • FOKUS

46
TPTP Project Structure
  • TPTP Platform Project
  • Covers the common infrastructure in the areas of
    user interface, EMF based data models, data
    collection and communications control, remote
    execution environments and extension points
  • TPTP Monitoring Tools Project
  • Collects, analyzes, aggregates and visualizes
    data that can be captured in the log and
    statistical models
  • TPTP Testing Tools Project
  • Provides specializations of the platform for
    testing and extensible tools for specific testing
    environments, initially 3 test environments
    Junit, manual and URL testing
  • TPTP Tracing and Profiling Tools Project
  • Extends the platform with specific data
    collection for Java and distributed applications
    that populate the common trace mode, also viewers
    and analysis services

47
Which Types of Testing will be Provided Through
TPTP?
  • Included in TPTP
  • Unit testing through JUnit
  • Exemplary HTTP testing
  • Exemplary Manual testing
  • Built on top of the TPTP framework
  • Special purpose testing tools
  • Testing tools focused on unit- and
    component-level testing

48
What Will TPTP Not Provide?
  • Test Management functionality for QA
    organizations
  • No concept of a repository, data models are
    file-based
  • Functional/GUI level testing
  • No typical developer testing task
  • Enterprise load testing
  • Limited TPTP framework capabilities for
    heterogeneous and large scale environments

49
Impact of TPTP on the QA Process
  • Increases developer testing
  • Therefore its even more critical that development
    interfaces with the QA organization
  • Developer testing assets needs to get
    incorporated into the QA process
  • QA testing results needs to get feed backed to
    the developers

ALF Overview
  • Aim is to implement an industry wide
    interoperability standard for Application
    Lifecycle Management
  • Project in very early stages, with Serena leading
    the project
  • Architecture and infrastructure that enables
    interoperability and commercial implementations
    for
  • A unified architecture for modeling, automating
    and managing application lifecycle processes like
    change management, software quality, etc.
  • Integration of information, workflows and
    collaboration
  • Standards to be defined and developed through a
    collaboration between leading industry vendor and
    end-user enterprises

54
Who Is ALF for?
  • Primary audience
  • Vendors building products or solutions that
  • Play a role in the application lifecycle
  • Need to interoperate with other tools in the
    lifecycle
  • Examples
  • Telelogic Doors - Requirements
  • Segue SilkCentral Quality Assurance
  • Serena ChangeMan Change Management
  • Secondary audience
  • Enterprises building homegrown solutions that
    require tools to interoperate.

55
ALF and SOA
  • ALF can be thought of as SOA for Development
  • Events, Web services and Web Service
    Orchestration
  • ALF is all about tool integration
  • This means tool coordination and, if warranted,
    synchronization
  • For coordination to occur, ALF must be aware of
    what is happening in the tools
  • Tools tell ALF what is happening via Events
  • ALF tells tools what to do via ALF Service Flows

56
ALF Interoperability Use Case
  • Synchronize the creation of an requirement
    inside an RMS with a TMS

The Quality Management Activities
  • Testing starts with requirements.
  • Requirements management is the process of
    gathering, organizing and tracking requirements
    documents throughout the project
  • Focus testing efforts
  • Allows testing teams to prioritize testing based
    on requirements/business priority/risk
