UML-based modeling support streamlines development

Visual modeling and editing tools help improve productivity and accelerate development with ease-of-use features.
The intuitive sketching capability allows architects to easily convert graphical models into polished presentations. This helps ensure communication and feedback from stakeholders.
Included design patterns help you quickly build UML models. Existing models can be decomposed and independently versioned for reuse as architectural building blocks.
Easy roundtrip engineering and synchronization of models and code can increase efficiency and accuracy.

Powerful tools and process guidance provides consistency

Take advantage of the patterns analysis engine for patterns-based engineering.
Increase productivity with architectural analysis, review and metrics tools.
Understand requirements better so you can manage risk, quality and change more effectively.
Improve design solutions with the process advisor feature.

Access to cloud services adds scalability

Gain access to cloud services with the Cloud Client console.
Connect to the IBM Compute Cloud environment to discover, provision, activate and relinquish cloud resources.

A flexible, extensible platform enhances ROI

Offers a set of optional extensions that enhance Rational Software Architect with capabilities for collaboration, simulation, deployment modeling, service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the use of an integrated architectural framework.
Provides requirements integration and end-to-end traceability for better lifecycle management.
Integrates with several IBM product lifecycle management solutions such as Rational Team Concert™, Rational Asset Manager and Rational Requirements Management.
Includes support for Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) for tighter integration with IBM WebSphere® Business Modeler.

Rational Software Architect is a modeling and development environment that uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for designing architecture for C++ and Java EE (JEE) applications and web services. Rational Software Architect is built on the Eclipseopen-sourcesoftware framework and includes capabilities focused on architectural code analysis, C++, and model-driven development (MDD) with the UML for creating applications and web services.

Overview[edit]

Rational Software Architect is a family of three products:

  • Rational Software Architect: Provides an integrated design and development tool with UML Support.
  • Rational Software Architect for WebSphere Software: A platform optimized for SOA, JEE and Websphere applications.
  • Rational Software Architect Design Manager : Collaboration tool to share and manage design information.

Rational Software Architect version 7.5 includes the following capabilities:

  1. Built on Eclipse version 3.4
  2. Supports UML version 2.1
  3. Supports model-to-code and code-to-model transformations.
    1. Forward transformations go from:
      1. UML to Java
      2. UML to C#
      3. UML to C++
      4. UML to EJB
      5. UML to WSDL
      6. UML to XSD
      7. UML to CORBA Interface Description Language (IDL)
      8. UML to structured query language (SQL)-based logical data models as supported by IBM Rational Data Architect software.
    2. Reverse transformations go from
      1. Java to UML
      2. C++ to UML.
      3. .NET to UML
  4. Includes all of the capabilities of Rational Application Developer
  5. Enables model management for parallel development and architectural re-factoring, e.g., split, combine, compare and merge models and model fragments.
  6. Provides visual construction tools to expedite software design and development

It also has integrations with other Rational tools, such as ClearCase version control and ClearQuest configuration management.

All Rational software products, including Rational Software Architect (RSA), are engineered as plugins that sit on top of the open-source Eclipse development platform. Installing Rational Software Architect gives the developer the option to either install RSA on top of an existing Eclipse v3.2 installation, or to install a new Eclipse v3.2 instance.

Since RSA is Eclipse-based, it can take advantage of the market of third-party plugins for Eclipse, as well as plugins specifically for Rational tools.

History[edit]

Rational Software has a long history in application modeling, beginning in the early 1990s with the work of Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh and Ivar Jacobson. They combined competing modeling approaches to form what eventually became the Unified Modeling Language.

Rational Software's first visual modeling and development tool was Rational Rose, a stand-alone modeling tool that integrates at the application programming interface (API) level with third-party Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to support a variety of programming languages and other implementation technologies.

While Rational Rose was an important step in bringing Model-driven development (MDD) closer to practicing software developers, it was found that only a small fraction of developers used modeling on a routine basis. A key problem was identified - developers didn't like to leave their IDE. They wanted visual modeling to be integrated—not with their IDE, but rather inside their IDE.

Rational responded to this need in 2002 with Rational XDE software, providing an extended development environment for the next generation of programming technologies emerging at the time: Java and Microsoft .NET. IBM Rational XDE was characterized as the next generation of IBM Rational Rose — not a new version of it (hence the name change), and not necessarily a replacement for Rose (since IBM Rational XDE was purposefully restricted to support only a select number of IDEs and implementation technologies). However, with each addition of a tool or capability came another point-to-point integration requirement. As more and more capabilities were added, Rational began to reach the practical limits of this style of tool integration.

For the next-generation MDD products, it was only natural to build additional model-driven development functions on top of Eclipse to form a more complete MDD tool. IBM Rational Software Architect, IBM Rational Software Modeler and IBM Rational Systems Developer are the result of these changes, transforming the silos that previously defined modeling, development and code analysis into an integrated and unified design and development experience. RSA now co-exists with IBM Rational Rhapsody (acquired from Telelogic in 2008) and several other products, with the two mentioned being the major MDD solutions within Rational.

Benefits[edit]

The benefits of using Rational Software Architect include:

  • Build software architecture that supports change with a common platform that facilitates easy roundtrip engineering and synchronization of models and code.
  • Accelerate implementation and facilitate maintenance of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) solution, such as a web service, with tools and process guidance.
  • Use UML to ensure the numerous stakeholders within your software development projects are continuously communicating, and use defined specifications to jumpstart development.[1]
  • Gain insight into distributed projects and tighter control of shared information.
