For most medium and large organizations the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) stack has become so diverse and disconnected that the traceability and cross-stakeholder collaboration limitations have become a substantial bottleneck for software delivery. OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration – see http://open-services.net ) aims to alleviate this by providing open specifications for diverse systems to communicate and support integrated scenarios. While a growing number of systems implement the specification, it will take more time for OSLC to be widely supported by all leading ALM solution vendors. But there is no need to wait for increased OSLC adoption. Join this webinar to learn how Tasktop is harnessing the thriving open Eclipse Mylyn community of ALM integrations to realize the OSLC value proposition by providing broad multi-vendor OSLC support today.
Speaker Bio:
Robert Elves is co-founder of Tasktop Technologies where he is leading delivery of OSLC-enabled integration technologies. Robert has served on the OSLC specification committee since its inception and participates in the OSLC CM, Automation, and Core working groups. In the Eclipse community, Robert is a committer on the Mylyn ALM integration framework as well as the Lyo project, which is focused on providing an SDK to enable adoption of OSLC specifications. At Tasktop, Robert leverages OSLC to improve communication, traceability and reporting across heterogeneous software development solutions including IBM Rational Team Concert, IBM Rational ClearQuest, HP Quality Center, Microsoft TFS, and many others.

Tasktop Technologies is offering a free Tasktop Sync webinar to explain all of the features and integrations of this new technology powered by Mylyn connectors. Tasktop Sync provides the only enterprise-scale ALM synchronization solution, built on the industry-standard Eclipse Mylyn ALM integration framework. Unlike previous approaches to ALM synchronization, Tasktop Sync provides real-time synchronization, automated conflict resolution, and support for over two dozen ALM systems. Building on Tasktop’s Task Federation™ technology, Tasktop Sync ensures that each stakeholder has access to the data that they need within their tool of choice. During the webinar, Mylyn creator and Tasktop CEO Mik Kersten will demonstrate Tasktop Sync and discuss the challenges that it solves. Kersten will show how Tasktop Sync connects development, QA, and agile project management together.

With the release of Mylyn 3.5 and Tasktop 2.0 in March 2011, a critical problem we tried to address was helping companies and development teams deal with heterogeneity. Tasktop's cross-repository Agile planning tools are a perfect example of this. In this presentation, we will explain why it is so important to have Agile tools be able to reach across repositories to be truly usable by companies. We will then demonstrate how Tasktop's cross-repository Agile planning works highlighting how sub-tasks in a user story or on a Scrum board can have dependencies on issues from other systems. We will also highlight how all of this information can be available from within the Eclipse IDE as well as in an offline manner.

Agile is all about working smarter - creating rapid change to deliver business value, fast. Tasktop's Mylyn framework coordinates developer activity using tasks and stories from popular Agile management tools such as VersionOne, JIRA and RallyDev. Mylyn's tasked based workflow, integrated with Perforce's best-of-breed version control, allows developers to focus on and respond to change faster in highly dynamic and collaborative environments. In this webinar, David Shepherd, from Tasktop, and Randy DeFauw, from Perforce, demonstrate how you can use Tasktop and Perforce to support an Agile workflow without leaving your IDE so you can focus on your tasks, not your tools. See how:

• Tasktop's integrated Task List keeps developers up-to-date on their tasks without causing them to leave the IDE.
• Developers need Perforce to manage the rapid change in source code, dealing with dependencies between projects and merging changes from concurrent development.
• Tasktop and Perforce integrate, automatically associating tasks with versioned assets and allowing developers to easily review each other's pending changes.

We all know code reviews are good for software quality like vegetables are for your diet. Regular reviews help developers share expertise, and find bugs earlier avoiding the 10x increase in the cost of correcting defects in production. Still, it's easy to put off code reviews when under pressure no matter how counter-productive to quality that is.
Register today for this webinar, where Dr. David Shepherd from Tasktop and Roy Paterson from SmartBear will demonstrate the latest in code review best practices, task focused development, and how to make code reviews not suck.
Best practices covered include:

• Using Eclipse Mylyn task-focused programming to speed up code reviews directly from Eclipse
• Automatically viewing and tracking only relevant code changes
• Freeing up time by managing a central list of coding, reviews, and other project tasks using Mylyn
• How to effectively and efficiently communicate with multiple code reviewers

Tweet "Code reviews don't have to suck" with the registration URL (http://www2.smartbear.com/tasktop_smartbear_webinar_email.html) and hash tag #nosuckreviews and then attend the webinar to be entered to win a free 1-year Tasktop Enterprise subscription and SmartBear CodeCollaborator license!
