A mix of application development software is often required to meet the entire development team's project needs. Frequently, what’s required is a combination of application development software tools that allow you to architect both databases and applications, or a set of tools that provides you with an end-to-end development lifecycle solution that includes architecture, design, development, testing and deployment capabilities. Whatever your needs, IBM Rational application development software makes it simple and cost effective for you to acquire the capabilities needed as part of a single lifecycle solution for delivering software projects and systems.
