Hi Folks, The regulars on this forum may remember I recently posted a few questions about source control systems. This was due to the fact I will soon be taking up a position in a company that requires me to implement one. (amongst other things) Now I am asking about those “other” things. The organisation I currently work for, (I am leaving) recently adopted the Ration suite. They seem incredibly useful for the large development projects that the company does. There is: Rational Rose (a UML modeller, source code reverse engineering, etc) Ration Clearcase source control Clearquest a defect management tool Requisite Pro a requirements tracking system Rational Purify a bug tracker/performance/Profiler and more and the list goes on…test suites, etc…and on.…and on… They seem to do everything but bake a cake, but this is a big organisation that can afford to pay the exorbitant licensing that Rational demands. In my new position the company cannot justify that kind of expense and I am interested in what other developers are using for these types of jobs. At the risk of starting a flame war due to the linux/windows rant: I will be developing on windows based platforms, so obviously windows based tools will be required. :) Matt ------ Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.
