Rational software helps you deliver greater value

from your investments in software and systems. It

enables organizations to seize businessopportunities, achieve precision in desired business

outcomes, and execute with reduced risk and cost.

IBM Rational software can help you extend the value

and performance of your existing software assets, skills,

and processes often with quantified project pay back in

less than a year.

Reduce cost :

Deploy cost-effective strategies to reuse

proven applications in more flexible architectures with latestmiddleware and server innovation.

Improve productivity:

Drive greater business agility andIT productivity by better leveraging existing domain

knowledge and by growing new skills.

Manage risk:

Improve collaboration, efficiency, and

governance across global software teams with a common

team infrastructure, reducing project costs and risks.

In a typical project, precious development time is wasted

researching and reporting project status. IBM Rational

ProjectConsole automates this process, dynamically

creating a project Web site with a progress dashboard based

on data collected from your development

platform. This saves you the time of having to build, update,

and maintain a team Web site, plus the time and effort of

manually gathering status updates.


6/29

Rational ProjectConsole collects actual development dataand third-party products, presenting the results graphically

so that you can easily and quickly assess project progress

and quality.

This allows you to objectively measure

and better predict which areas will

require special attention.


7/29

Project Console helps answer questionslike:

Where should I focus scarce resources in order to stay

on schedule?

What trends are occuring that could impact cost and

schedule?

How much code churn is going on relative to ourplanned release schedule?

Quantify is a powerful tool that identifies the portions of

an application that dominate its execution time.

Quantify gives you the insight to quickly eliminate

performance problems so that your software runs faster.


9/29

1. Get accurate, repeatable performance data

2. Control how data is collected by collecting data for a small

portion of your applications execution or the entire run.

3.Compare before and after runs to see the impact of yourchanges on performance

4. Easily locate and fix the problems with the highest potential

for improving performance

Rational Purify is a dynamic software analysis tool designed

to help developers write more reliable code. It includes two

capabilities:

1) Memory debugging (pinpoints hard to find memory errors

such as uninitialized memory access, buffer overflow and

improper freeing of memory),

2) Memory leak detection (identifies memory blocks that nolonger have a valid pointer).


11/29

Purify checks each memory operation against the color state of the

memory block to determine whether the operation is valid. If not, an

error will be reported.

During the development process, software changes daily,

sometimes hourly. Unfortunately, test suites do not

always keep pace. PureCoverage is a simple, easily-

deployed tool that identifies the portions of your code that

have not been exercised by testing.


14/29

PureCoverage lets you:

1.) Identify the portions of your application that your tests have

not exercised

2.) Accumulate coverage data over multiple runs and multiple

builds

3.) Merge data from different programs sharing common

source code

4.) Work closely with Purify, Rationals run-time error detection

program, to make sure that Purify finds errors throughout

entire application

5.) Automatically generate a wide variety of useful reports

6.)Access the coverage data so you can write your own reports


15/29

automating the creation and maintenance

of comprehensive project documentation

and reports. Unlike manual methods, Rational

SoDA generates complete documentation

more easily and with greater consistency by

automatically extracting data from various

project tool databases.

ClearQuest is a customizable defect and change tracking system

designed for the dynamic environment of software development. With

ClearQuest, you can manage every type of change activity associated

with software development, including enhancement requests, defect

reports, and documentation modifications.


21/29

ClearQuest shortens development cycles by unifying your entire

team in the

process of managing software change:

Development engineers can identify and prioritize action items

that pertain to their section of code.

Test engineers can track the status and resolution of change

requests to verify software quality.

Project leaders and managers can get information at a glance to

help them allocate development resources, streamline work flow,

and accurately determine release dates.

Administrators can integrate ClearQuest with existing tools and

customize it to fit your organizations workflow.

RequisitePro is a powerful yet easy to use requirements

management tool that:

# allows your software development team to managerequirements and their associated documents.

# helps teams manage project requirements comprehensively,promotes communication and collaboration among team members,

and reduces project risk.


23/29

Analyst You are one of the team members defining and explainingrequirements to the team. you are one of the team members that isresponsible for creating requirements that then defines what the rest of thesoftware team will be working on.

Project Manager You will be responsible for deciding how the developmentteam uses RequisitePro so that the team can get the information it needs outof the information stored in RequisitePro. You will document this agreement ina requirements management plan.

The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is an iterative

software development process framework created by the

Rational Software Corporation. RUP is not a single

concrete prescriptive process, but rather an adaptable

process framework, intended to be tailored by the

development organizations and software project teams

that will select the elements of the process that are

appropriate for their needs.


25/29

1.) Inception Phase

2.) Elaboration Phase

3.) Construction Phase

4.) Transition Phase


26/29

During the inception phase, you establish the business case forthe system and delimit the project scope. To accomplish this you

must identify all external entities with which the system will interact

(actors) and define the nature of this interaction at a high-level

The elaboration phase is where the project starts to takeshape. In this phase the problem domain analysis is made and

the architecture of the project gets its basic form.

Construction Phase:The primary objective is to build thesoftware system. In this phase, the main focus is on the

development of components and other features of the system. This

is the phase when the bulk of the coding takes place.

The primary objective is to 'transition' the system fromdevelopment into production, making it available to and understood

by the end user. The activities of this phase include training the end

users and maintainers and beta testing the system to validate it

against the end users' expectations.

Rational Functional Tester, an advanced, automated functional and

regression testing tool for testers and GUI developers who need

superior control for testing applications based on Java, Microsoft

Visual Studio .NET, and Web technologies.

RealTime Rational Rose Model Integratorlets you compare

and merge Rational Rose RealTime models. You can compare

model elements, discover their differences, and merge them

into a recipient model.
