Product overview

Users of Rational® software modeling tools require customizable tools to specify and maintain all aspects of an application's architecture, and to manage complexity in applications. Rational Software Architect provides integrated design and development support for model-driven development with the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

You use Rational Software Architect to visually design a software application by using UML models. Based on your design, you can then transform your design into code and continue to develop your application or Web. Throughout the development life cycle, your team completes the discipline activities of requirements gathering, use case analysis, and domain analysis, followed by detailed architectural design, implementation, and deployment in the recommended development phases of the Rational Unified Process® (RUP).
