The Rational® solution for systems and software engineering provides products, services, and best practices for systems engineering and software development activities across requirements, design, development, and testing efforts.
The solution uses Jazz™ platform technology and Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) so that teams can access information across tools, implement guidance for best practices, efficiently trace work, and view progress and important data in Jazz dashboards. The best practices for systems engineering and embedded software are enabled through integrations across requirements management, modeling, quality management, work-item planning, and change management tools. The tools and practices support disparate teams to collaborate.
