Users of Rational® software modeling tools require customizable tools to specify all aspects of an application's architecture, and to manage complexity in today’s applications. Rational Software Modeler supports visual modeling with Unified Modeling Language (UML) for documenting different views of a system.
You use Rational Software Modeler to visually design a software application by using UML models. Throughout the development lifecycle, your team completes the discipline activities of requirements gathering, use case analysis, and domain analysis, followed by detailed architectural design within the recommended development phases of the Rational Unified Process® (RUP).
