Multi-Platform & Open Source Development Tools in a Traditional IBM i Environment

This paper is for anyone considering modern software development methods in an environment which includes IBM Power Systems IBM i. This paper describes the benefits of combining traditional and modern software development methods; the importance of tooling; the natural synergy and collaboration between ARCAD tools and multi-platform open-source tools and why this is important.

Thanks to the bi-directional integration of ARCAD solutions for DevTestOps on IBM i with open source tools such as Git, Jenkins and Jira, it is possible to achieve a single, common software delivery pipeline and shared source code repository across all platforms including IBM i.
