To achieve help with this modernization, HP Services has developed a program utilizing HP Services Principals and a third party tool vendor that will help you convert your Rally applications to Java. The vendor is MainTrend. The Rally to Java Converter is a software tool set and methodology that takes an application coded in Rally and generates Java-2 application source code and XML definitions with minimal need for a programmer intervention. The conversion includes both the graphical user interface and the business logic. This is not a face-lift of an existing application but the same, complete application built on new advanced technology. Tests to date by MainTrend have achieved an automatic conversion of 80% or better of each Rally application, leaving 20% or less to be completed manually. You can read about the Converter and test a conversion with the demo applet at the MainTrend web site:
