Most systems development projects need to adhere to many, many standards and regulations. Adhering to those standards is a very complex and time consuming task, which of course directly cuts into project profitability and release predictability. Whether it’s a project in the aerospace and defense market, automotive, or telecom segments, all of these projects need to be effectively governed.
- Simplifying C/C++ and Java development
- Raising individual and team productivity
- Enforcing architectural designs through development
IBM® Rational® Systems Developer is a design and development tool that takes advantage of the full power of Eclipse and includes plug-ins that enable software architects and model-driven developers to create well-architected C/C++, Java J2SE and CORBA-based applications leveraging Unified Modeling Language (UML 2).
- Allows organizations to manage transition to modular system architectures and SOA
- Provides enhanced traceability and reporting on industry-specific regulatory requirements for systems
Rational Systems Developer includes a special add-in that helps developers adhere to the DoDAF specification. With this new functionality a systems development organization can quickly create views into their projects as required by this regulation.
