“An essential read for any organization using change management. Whether you are new to ClearCase or an experienced user, this book addresses key points that will drive you to a successful ClearCase deployment and usage model.” –Adam Levensohn, manager, ClearCase Technical Support, IBM Rational Software “Buckley and Pulsipher offer the voice of hard-won experience leavened with significant amounts of humor, which is not exactly what one expects from a book about configuration management (or any computer science book, for that matter). The way I see it, a book that offers advice about ‘how to reduce build cycle times for large, multi-site products’ in terms of ‘eating an elephant, one bite at a time’ is definitely worth reading. Thanks to these guys, I’m the proud owner of a brand-new VOB, and after I read the detailed advice herein about how to configure it, it works like a charm!” –Kendall Scott, author, UML Explained By using IBM Rational ClearCase, development teams can dramatically improve their productivity and responsiveness throughout the entire software lifecycle.
