Development and testing activities at the IBM Innovation Centers
These are the types of activities that are available at our worldwide centers.
Design and architecture consulting: Instructions on IBM's product portfolio and enablement support offerings and customized recommendations for your solution.
Product consulting: Consultations in coding practices for implementing IBM technology to take advantage of specific functionality, such as performance, reliability, and security. This can be performed in conjunction with prototyping.
Proofs-of-concept or prototyping: Assistance in taking a single use case definition and building functional code using appropriate IBM tools and software. You can gain skill in building code with help from the IBM technician and take your code as an example of the proof of concept activity.
Validation testing: Solution validation based on open standards across IBM platforms. Pre-configured software based on your specifications is installed and tested. You work hand in hand with the IBM technician to validate the basic functionality of the software.
Porting and enabling on IBM platforms and Linux®: Assistance with porting from any platform to one or more IBM platforms, Linux or both.
Migration: Assistance with migrating your application from proprietary software or platforms to open standards-based platforms.
Integration testing: Thorough testing of your solution in a complex environment involving multiple servers and software platforms such as integration of launched solution with new models of IBM System p and IBM System x products with IBM software such as DB2 and WebSphere.
Performance and scalability testing: Assistance with evaluating or building sizing guides based on load testing of your solution on IBM products and technology.
