Talk:IBM Rational ClearCase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[newbie] I searched for "VOB" but no entries was found. Shouldn't at least a link exist, pointing to this Rational ClearCase page?

[edit] pro/cons
no comparaison against other SCM ? This page looks too much like ClearCase marketing... No mention of its *extremely* slow speed, unfriendly user interface and terminology?
- terminology??? Ever used an RDBMS at all? --Afc 03:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- The friendliness of a user interface is subjective. I like most of it. Jgrahn 19:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- It's very well designed and not at all unfriendly, but indeed it requires resources in terms of computing power and performant io disks -- mlz
- No dev can argue that it is "well designed" and "user friendly", that is simply false. I enjoy its positive sides (stability, support for large development organizations) yet it is slow due to its old architecture and suffers severely bad usability (can you say "modal dialogue layering"?) - I have never found any usability engineer or any dev with competence in usability argue otherwise, simply because they break a host of usability principles. Again, the product has positives. - Marcus Widerberg / senior dev

How can I know the all the files checked in by an induvidial?
Reputation of reliability... hum that's not that I saw with 3 different clients. It is used in big project (because from IBM) but it's not more reliable for that.
[edit] Integration
At some point, I would like someone to explain to me exactly how ClearCase integrates well with Rational Rose, ClearQuest and other IBM/Rational tools. In my experience, those other tools resist any kind of serious revision control. Jgrahn 19:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality
Rather than a "criticism" section (ClearCase is not a person, as much as I'd like to anthopomorphize it), I think we should definitely add a pros/cons section that references the SCM tools comparison. --Afc 03:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC), a very biased source.
As others have said here, this article reads like marketing blurb for the product. I think it should contain at least a section of "criticisms" -- I am a professional software engineer and have heard many. Alf Boggis 12:03, 31 May 2006 (BST)
- As someone new to ClearCase and the article, I have to say the article reads more like a "ClearCase is SCM and this is what makes it unique". I do believe this is article is more NPOV than positive-POV, and it helped me understand why my company has decided to use it. However, before I erected a ClearCase service I'd prefer someone make a Criticisms section (even though CC is too expensive for me to buy just because of a Wikipedia article). --Caidence 15:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I added links to "List of revision control software" and "Comparison of revision control software".--Btwied 17:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- A criticism section would be great, I also have heard many criticisms of ClearCase. There must be some published articles out there that could be referenced. --JRavn 23:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- I should clarify that the criticisms I have heard are with the UCM and the Windows GUI parts rather than basic ClearCase Alf Boggis 14:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
