MotioCI

Motio Inc


Overview

The Motio Continuous Integration Server (MotioCI) is a patent-pending, server-based product that increases the throughput, quality, and momentum of Cognos BI development efforts.

MotioCI is an ideal tool for enforcing the best practices defined by a BICC. It enables continuous, automated version control and regression testing of BI content, provides visibility into changes in the BI ecosystem, and supports managed deployments between BI environments.


Benefits

  • Improved team productivity
  • Improved cycle times
  • Increased momentum  
  • Supports better planning
  • Greater end user satisfaction
  • Increases ROI of BI tool, and increases BI implementation success
  • Enables better processes (promotion, tracking of changes)

Features

Version control allows BI teams to view historical versions of BI artifacts, view historical outputs for each version of a report, and do "diffs" between multiple versions of the same BI artifact. Users can also revert to a prior working version of the artifact, and promote an artifact to an upstream BI environment.

Regression testing capabilities allow customers to create test cases to ensure that Cognos report specifications adhere to project standards.

Continuous integration capabilities allow customers to execute configured testsuites automatically at regular intervals, enabling MotioCI to act as a virtual "smoke detector" for the Cognos environment.

Capabilities allow customers to monitor their BI environment and track what changes are being made and who is making them. When issues arise, this traceability reduces the amount of time required to find and correct the issue.

Users can promote a baseline of BI content (which has passed all regression tests) from development to QA or from QA into production.

BI team members can design stress test scenarios that apply controlled amounts of load (e.g., simultaneous report executions) to a BI environment to determine how the BI content will perform under stress.


Architecture

MotioCI and the MotioCI database provide a server-based solution that resides alongside IBM Cognos 8 BI and IBM Cognos ReportNet solutions.
