LogicLibrary Introduces Smart Controls for SOA Governance
| CBDI COMMENTARY
CBDI has long stressed the value of Asset Management solutions to support CBD and now SOA initiatives. These new capabilities add to Logidex’s capabilities to discover, document and publish software assets to enable reuse by improving the governance of the lifecycle. With the federated environment of SOA development bringing greater separation between service providers and consumers, managing the lifecycle of assets becomes critical to ensuring that increased requirements for business and IT governance are met across all participants.
Look out for the June CBDI Journal for a product report on Logidex.

CBDI Best Practice Report: Establishing a Service Lifecycle
| NEWS WITHOUT THE HYPE
LogicLibrary, provider of software development asset (SDA) management tools, has announced the release of Logidex 3.6 featuring Smart Controls that makes it possible for organizations to govern the production process for reusable components, Web services and other SDAs within a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Logidex 3.6 also includes integration with LogicLibrary's code-scanning technology Logiscan, expanded IDE support, additional integration with the IBM Rational Software Development Platform, and support for Firefox.
Logidex 3.6 users can now define and manage software development lifecycle (SDLC) validations, processes and roles related to all software development assets. These actions are customizable and can be automated either within Logidex or mixed with a customer's external tools, workflows and other mechanisms.
Additionally, Logidex's Federated Repository feature enables IT organizations to automatically share selected assets across interconnected libraries, allowing customers to centrally manage asset deployments while giving individual groups and lines of business the freedom to locally define their own SDA management processes and policies. This support for the distribution of reusable SDAs both enterprise-wide and across multiple lines of business is a key ingredient of the SOA governance process.
Logidex 3.6 also includes
• JBuilder Plug-in - tight integration with JBuilder now means Logidex integrates with leading IDEs. Other environments include Eclipse, IBM WebSphere Studio, IBM Rational Application Developer, Software Modeler and Software Architect, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. LogicLibrary's integration enables collaboration among tools within the environment of the developer's choice, resulting in productivity improvements.
• Logiscan Integration - allows users to determine the security posture of an asset before it is deployed, reducing application development risk and exposure. With Logidex 3.6, the Logiscan security report can be automatically generated and attached as an artifact to an asset.
• Additional Integration with the IBM Rational Software Development Platform via RAS-using Logidex as a RAS Repository, IBM Rational developers can take advantage of Logidex management capabilities from within Rational Software Modeler (RSM) and Rational Software Architect (RSA).
• Firefox Support - LogicLibrary has enhanced its browser platform support to include Firefox 1.0. Logidex users now have the flexibility of using either Internet Explorer or Firefox for their SDA management. |
