SOA/API developer tool tips by Luis Augusto Weir
February 11, 2015 1 Comment
Having been delivering SOA projects for over a decade, I’ve come across many tools some of which I hate and avoid using them (unless a client demands so) and others that have made my life easier when delivering projects.
The below table is a recollection of tools I have used or come across which I find useful and recommend SOA/API practitioners to use or at least evaluate. Enjoy 🙂
| SDLC | Tool Name | Description + Links |
| Project/Scrum Management and Collaboration | Jira | Jira when used for scrum management is In my opinion is the the best tool I’ve used for managing scrums specially in an offshore / onshore distributed environment. It also has capabilities to manage GIT repositories which makes this an ideal tool for a complete cloud/based agile project with users all over the world. https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira |
| Agilo | I used this tool some time back successfully in a large onsite SOA project and it worked very well for us. Product has come along way since then and It’s more feature rich than it used to be. It has a 30 day trial. http://agilosoftware.com/ |
|
| Trello | Very simple, lean and easy to use project/task management and collaboration tool. It’s free for any number of users, can log-in using Google account. Thanks Darren Atkinson for this tip! https://trello.com Furthermore there are some awesome plug-ins to use it for Agile projects: |
|
| Coop App | very clean UI supporting features such as share status updates, questions, links, and others. http://coopapp.com/ |
|
| PBworks | Suite of tools including in-app instant messaging, live notifications of changes to work spaces, live editing of documents, voice collaboration, wiki, and others. Can be used for full collaboration including project management. http://www.pbworks.com/ |
|
| Configuration Management | GitHub | I have been using this tool recently but found it amazing specially because of the GitHub client which is not intrusive to filesystem (like Tortoise and that create issues some times in the local file system) and very easy to use. It’s social collaborative capabilities are awesome but also supports private projects however this latter feature it’s not free. Also there are tutorials online. https://github.com/ try.github.com |
