FEATURED WHITE PAPERModel Driven Development™ - A collection of best practicesThis new addition to the modeling vernacular describes the approach the Borland® Together® technologies have provided for a number of years. Several years ago, Peter Coad described the approach as "Model-Build-Deploy." The method was simple: use the Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®) to model the system (applying design patterns where necessary), write code to implement the application logic, and automate deployment to the application server. ALM for Eclipse WhitepaperExtend the Eclipse framework with Application Lifecycle Management solutions for requirements, design, development, performance and testing, and change management.
MDA,® MDD, and practical modeling adoption strategiesThis white paper explores three topics: MDA® in all its guises, how to get immediate, practical benefits using Model Driven Development, and how to introduce Model Driven Development into your organization. Basic metrics for requirements managementThis paper presents a simple set of requirements-related metrics that projects can adopt when adding requirements management practices to their existing development process, or as part of a broader effort to improve the process of eliciting, documenting, and managing requirements throughout the software lifecycle to support organizational goals or attain various certifications. 24 x 7 Borland® StarTeam®: A practical look at high availabilityThe goal of this white paper is to help you prepare a comprehensive high-availability plan for your organization's use of StarTeam. Because there are many factors that contribute to a comprehensive plan, the first part of this paper discusses general high availability issues such as what high availability means and costs vs. benefits. The second part focuses on specific strategies and options that you can use with StarTeam to provide the level of availability needed by your organization. You will find that high availability can be achieved with a graduated series of measures, each of which improves availability at an additional cost. Optimizing Borland® StarTeam® for distributed teams: The best techniques for supporting distributed teamsThis white paper describes the best techniques for supporting distributed teams with StarTeam. The problems with replication are discussed, and the case for supporting your organization with centralized StarTeam repositories is made. Features with which you can optimize StarTeam for distributed teams, including new features introduced with StarTeam 2005, are described. These features address responsiveness, limited network bandwidth, and even unreliable networks. Collaborative teams and effective project management with Borland® Delphi® 2005 and StarTeam®This paper focuses on the collaboration capabilities that are integrated into Borland Delphi 2005. Within the Borland Delphi 2005 Enterprise and Architect Editions, a full StarTeam® 6.0 Standard Editon is provided in the box. This version will be used in the subsequent material. This paper reviews key stages and operations associated with using StarTeam in the software development process and its management using a sample scenario. Higher-level editions of StarTeam are available, and it is worth noting that extended capabilities such as tasks are integrated into the IDE as available from the StarTeam edition that is running. Using Borland® Deployment Op-Center to manage CaliberRM™, StarTeam®, and Mercury TestDirector® server environmentsThis white paper discusses using Borland® Deployment Op-Center to manage the server environments for CaliberRM,™ StarTeam,® and Mercury TestDirector.® This includes managing the Web servers, database servers, and other infrastructure services required by these applications. It is assumed that the reader of this white paper is familiar with these environments. This includes issues involved in maintaining these environments, as far as monitoring their runtime status, providing an orderly shutdown and startup for routine backups, and understanding inter-product dependencies that exist in newer versions of these applications. For example, CaliberRM and StarTeam both use the common component MPXServer in day-to-day operations. BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
