Rational Harmony

IBM® Rational® Harmony™ for Embedded RealTime Development is a systems and software development solution founded on Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®) 2.1. The solution can help improve how you develop technical, embedded, and real-time applications by enabling you to iteratively build executable, visual models that detect defects early in the development cycle and maintain code synchronization.

This synchronization of model and code creates a flexible software development environment that allows you to work in either the model or the code.

Because Rational Harmony for Embedded RealTime Development emphasizes a rapid iterative development lifecycle, including analysis, design, implementation, and test, optimized for real-time and embedded software development, you can identify risks and defects early in the development lifecycle when they are less costly to fix.

Based on UML, Rational Harmony for Embedded RealTime Development eases the transition and improves communication between systems engineering teams using the Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML™) and software development teams.
