Rational Rhapsody features and benefits

The IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Developer solution is a visual development environment for embedded, real-time or technical application software development based on UML that helps improve your productivity throughout the embedded software development lifecycle — from requirements capture to implementation, test and deployment.

The Rational Rhapsody Developer solution helps drive efficiency in your development workflow with:

• Full application generation for C, C++, Java and Ada including behavioral diagrams, object initialization and build artifacts

• Animation and model execution for design level debugging to help identify problems early, and they are the least costly to fix

• Synchronize code and model to provide a flexible development environment

• Reverse engineering facilitates re-use of existing code

• View, review and comment on designs stored in Rational Rhapsody Rhapsody Design Manager for collaborative development across team

• AUTOSAR 3.1, 3.2 and 4.0 support from concept to code with behavioral generation of C components that integrate with AUTOSAR RTE

• Leverage model based testing with Rational Rhapsody TestConductor Add On to help automate testing of code and visualize test cases

• Simplified execution framework with ARINC 653 adapter supports development of safety critical applications.

• Visual environment for construction of Android software that represents the architecture and allows references to Android concepts.

• C# structural code generation and reverse engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio integration for integrating with embedded applications

• Describe architecture and automate development of Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) middleware standard to describe the architecture and automate development of data-centric publish subscriber applications.

• Domain-specific language support for graphical C, MARTE or create your own through profiles

• Integrations with leading embedded development environments ease deployment onto embedded target.

• MISRA-C and MISRA-C++ code for embedded systems to automate development process

• Dynamically analyze and execute SysML parametric diagrams to assist in trade study analysis

• Eclipse integration enables teams to leverage single development IDE for coding, modeling and team collaboration including Jazz integration with Rational Team Concert support

• Requirements analysis and traceability to design, implementation and test artifacts to help deliver the right product and respond quickly to change including integrations with IBM® Rational® DOORS®, IBM® Rational® RequisitePro® and other requirements management solutions through the IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Gateway Add On

• Parallel development with configuration management interfaces via IBM® Rational® Team Concert, IBM® Rational® ClearCase®, IBM® Rational® Synergy,solutions, and other products including base aware graphical differencing and merging

• Customizable documentation generation through ReporterPlus feature of IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Tools and Utilities Add On or IBM Rational Publishing Engine.

• Customizable code generation with Rational Rhapsody Developer Rules Composer Add On to tailor code generation
