Rational Rhapsody Developer

Full embedded application generation

• Generates application code for the C, C++, Java® and Ada languages including architectural and behavioral views (statecharts, activity diagrams).
• Enables you to import and visualize existing C, C++, Java, Ada and C# code for reference, or develop further with IBM Rational Rhapsody.
• Synchronizes changes in design or code to keep both in sync.
• Generates build artifacts of design for leading embedded development and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• Supports Eclipse platform integration for an integrated code, model and debug environment.

Simulation and model-based testing, and visual development

• Animation features help with design-level debugging of the model as it is being built, so you can eliminate defects early. Animation support allows you to control the design as you would with a traditional debugger, but at a higher level of abstraction.
• You can inject events, call operations, step through the model, see active state highlighted in statecharts, and automatically generate sequence diagrams created from running the executable.
• Rational Rhapsody TestConductor Add On software incorporates quality into the design phase by automating test creation, execution and validation. It also visualizes test cases for better understanding and provides code-based test generation and a validation suite for real-time embedded applications.
• The software enables visualization of complex requirements with UML, SysML or domain specific languages (DSL) such as AUTOSAR, MARTE or DDS. It supports DSLs so you can create your own unique diagrams and diagram elements.
• Rational Rhapsody Developer allows you to visually develop Android applications using an Android development kit.

Requirements traceability

• Provides full requirements traceability from the design back to the requirements.
• Inserts requirements information into the code to assist traceability in the final implementation.
• Provides a parametric constraint solver for SysML parametric diagrams, which facilitates trade study analysis and architectural trade-offs.
• Includes static model checking analysis, which helps improve model consistency and model completeness.
• Performs coverage analysis with the IBM Rational Rhapsody Gateway feature. This feature is included with the optional IBM Rational Rhapsody Tools and Utilities Add On software.

Team collaboration

• You can share and review designs with your extended team using IBM Rational Design Manager.
• The advanced model browser allows teams of engineers to quickly sort, organize and edit their models.
• Graphical model comparisons and merging of model elements enables teams to work in parallel.

Lifecycle support and add-on software

• Rational Rhapsody Developer integrates with IBM Rational products—such as IBM Rational DOORS®, IBM Rational Systems Architect, IBM Rational Team Concert™, IBM Rational ClearCase® and others—for full product lifecycle development.
• IBM Rational Rhapsody for DoDAF, MODAF, and UPDM Add On software enables you to create US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), British Ministry of Defense Architectural Framework (MODAF) and Unified Profile for DoDAF/MODAF (UPDM) artifacts.
• IBM Rational Rhapsody Tools and Utilities Add On software provides graphical panels for visual mock ups of a design; customizable, template-based documentation; and the Mathworks Simulink integration for modeling and simulation of architecture combined with plant models. It also includes IBM Rational Rhapsody Gateway, which provides an advanced interface to requirements management tools such as IBM Rational DOORS, IBM Rational RequisitePro® and other requirements authoring tools.
• IBM Rational Rhapsody Automatic Test Generation Add On software provides automatic test generation for Rational Rhapsody models, helping to facilitate greater test coverage.
• IBM Rational Rhapsody Developer Rules Composer Add On software provides customizable rules for code generation to meet the standards of or to generate other programming languages not currently supported.
