COMPUWARE AND SONARSOURCE UNIFY MULTI-PLATFORM DEVOPS WITH INTEGRATED COBOL CODE COVERAGE METRICS

Mainframe-inclusive Continuous Code Quality Accelerates Digital Agility While De-Risking Generational Shift in Platform Stewardship

- To be digitally agile, enterprises must more quickly and frequently update their core mainframe systems—while also shifting stewardship of those applications from retiring COBOL veterans to IT staff with mainstream skills.

- Compuware has teamed with SonarSource to integrate accurate COBOL test coverage reporting into the automated QA processes they already use to support DevOps and Continuous Delivery.

- This new integration empowers large enterprises to dramatically accelerate mainframe application quality and throughput without incurring additional risk—even as they “mainstream” stewardship of those systems.

DETROIT, Jan 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware and SonarSource today released new integrations that empower enterprise DevOps teams to accurately track and validate code coverage of COBOL application testing—with the same ease and employing the same processes—as they do with Java and other more mainstream code.

NEW LOGO AND SLOGAN PROMOTING TOKYO'S CHARMS ABROAD; "TOKYO TOKYO OLD MEETS NEW" CAMPAIGN ONGOING IN SOUTH KOREA AS WELL

TOKYO, Jan 5 (Bernama) --

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is holding a campaign to promote Tokyo's charms overseas and also in a broad scope in South Korea using the logo and slogan "Tokyo Tokyo Old meets New." (Logo: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/img/201712229362-O1-cgC19i6e) The key message "Every Moment Is History. Where Will You Find Yourself Next?" has been spread in airports, buses, and various media such as magazines since January 1, 2018, as part of this promotion campaign. Also, along with promoting Tokyo's charms effectively to travelers around the world, it is spreading the image of Tokyo as a tourist destination worldwide. The message conveyed by the logo and slogan: Traditions passed on from the Edo period coexist with cutting-edge culture The "Tokyo Tokyo Old meets New" slogan raises expectations for many surprises to be sent out to the rest of the world and along with that for new values to be created in Tokyo, where traditions continuing for 400 years from the feudal Edo (Tokyo today) period and cutting-edge culture born from the never-stopping evolution meet and merge together. The design is made from brush and gothic fonts -- by repeating "Tokyo" using two different font types puts a strong emphasis on the image and identity of Tokyo where traditions and innovations are coexistent. Also, the black and blue colors used in the logo express the traditions and the sky that spreads towards the future, while the signature in the middle is based on the image of one tourist spot -- the Shibuya crossing. The Metropolitan Government inquired citizens of Tokyo about their opinion on both the logo and slogan and officially decided on them in April 2017.
