Main Description
### EPF base #### 1.5.0.4 Bugzilla 281165 - Renamed practice "two-level project planning" to "release planning". Bugzilla 285042 - Renamed "software design" and "software implementation" slots to "technical design" and "technical implementation". Bugzilla 268148 - Moved build artifact to "core.tech.common". Many minor bug fixes. #### 1.5 This is the initial release of the practices library, which is included as part of the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) 1.5. Most of the open source content derives from OpenUP 1.0, refactored to support independent practices. These are the key new features in the core: Work product slots to allow practices to be independent of each other Default navigation view so that ad hoc configurations of practices can be published easily with a view Guidance and work products reusable across practices have been moved into common plug-ins Category, role, and tool definitions separated into separate plug-ins to allow them to be easily removed and replaced by alternative categorizations. ### RMC extension ### 7.5.0.1 New practices added for setting up and managing performance measurement. Burndown and velocity metrics have been rewritten to conform with standard definitions, and to differentiate iteration and release burndown. New metrics have been added for Test Case Execution Status, Test Coverage of Requirements, Build Health, Test Status and Glide Path, and Test Case Defect Yield. Updated metrics include Code Health, Iteration Velocity, Fixes Failing Verification, Defect Distribution, and Iteration Length. Test Coverage is now named Code Coverage Deleted "business architecture" slot. Tasks that had this slot as input were changed so that "business design" was input instead. The tools category is now alphabetically sorted. Many minor bug fixes. ### 7.5.0 iFix1 Corrections to "supporting" plug-in attributes to ensure published configurations only display referenced shared content. ### 7.5 This is the initial release of the IBM practices, which are included as part of Rational Method Composer (RMC) 7.5. IBM extensions to the core include the following: An IBM version of the default navigation view so that ad hoc configurations of practices can be published easily using process builder. Additional guidance and work products reusable across practices. Additional slots, categories, role, and tool definitions to support IBM practices and IBM practice extensions.
