A Seamless Transition from Business Requirements Through Implementation

Every few years, new technology makes an advance in capability that enables more efficient development processes. This webinar describes the ICONIX Business Modeling Roadmap — a process that combines two advances in tools capability to enable a quantum leap in development processes, automating time-consuming steps in business modeling and requirements elicitation, and eliminating errors in translation in the enforcement of business rules. The Business Modeling Roadmap enables business applications that provably meet their requirements to be built quickly and efficiently, while avoiding analysis paralysis.

You’ll learn:
•       How to identify business requirements using narrative business process scenarios and automatically generated activity diagrams
•       How to define business rules and automatically generate algorithmic code for their enforcement, without programming
•       How to identify software use cases for “automatable” business processes and drive these use cases forward all the way to code
•       How to model the problem domain, and why this is fundamentally important to all of the above steps
•       Lessons learned from a case study of a system redesign and implementation at a major healthcare company (anonymity requested to protect the guilty)

Presenter: Doug Rosenberg founded ICONIX in 1984 in order to apply best practices in analysis and architecture to real world software development. Doug has written five books on Software Engineering, most recently “Use Case Driven Object Modeling – Theory and Practice” and currently has two additional titles under development.

Finding Missing Requirements with IBM Rational Requirements Composer

Monday, December 7th, 2009

IBM Rational, Ascendant, and Ravenflow invite you to learn about:

Finding Missing Requirements with IBM Rational Requirements Composer (RRC)

IBM RRC is the most talked about Requirements product of 2009. This webinar includes demonstrations of IBM RRC as well as Ravenflow’s RAVEN Visual Analyzer for RRC.

IBM Rational® Requirements Composer® is a requirements definition solution that enables organizations to enhance their requirements processes with easy-to-use elicitation and definition capabilities. Providing various visual and collaborative tools, Requirements Composer enables the capture and refinement of business needs into unambiguous requirements that drive improved quality, speed, and alignment across the IT lifecycle.

RAVEN Visual Analyzer is a plug-in component that adds powerful requirements visualization and analysis capabilities to IBM® Rational® Requirements Composer. Designed to work seamlessly with Composer, RAVEN Visual Analyzer helps optimize requirements elicitation and validation activities, saving time and improving overall requirements quality.
