Provides integrated design and development support for model-driven development with the UML. IBM Rational Software Architect reduces complexity, manages risk, ensures high quality software, and shortens the learning curve of new technologies allowing you to focus on creative solutions and getting to market faster with architectures and applications that are built to last. Software Architect has a number of available extensions including Software Architect Extension for C++ for C++ implementations and Software Architect Extension for SOA and WebSphere which allows you to deliver Java Enteprise Edition and SOA solutions.

IBM Rational Software Architect is a flexible, extensible, easy to use platform for delivering high quality architectures.

New! Sketching a simple and informal way to capture ideas and thoughts that can quickly kickstart a project and be transformed later on to formal architectures

Manage risk, quality, and change more effectively; flush out and better understand requirements; enable more accurate planning and estimating

Maintain more effective control of architecture and delivery outcomes

Effectively manage and re-use solution architectures and architectural building blocks

Manage evolution of, and adherence to, design contracts as development is carried out by geographically and organizationally distributed teams

Focus on creative aspects of solutions and avoid mundane, repetitive work

Leverage scalable infrastructure services with access to the Cloud

Quickly create custom factory solutions based upon your own domain examples, using exemplar-driven authoring tools. Use domain specific languages to represent your unique problem and solution domains. Automate development with Patterns Based Engineering

Enhance the capabilities of Rational Software Architect with various extensions for a variety of problem and industry domains

Additional integrations with the IBM Rational software delivery platform include IBM Rational Team Concert

Open and highly extensible to adapt to your needs. Powered by Eclipse 3.6, features are optionally installable and configurable at a fine-grained level to expose only the tooling capabilities you truly need

Features

General modeling with the industry's most robust support for UML 2.2 and a configurable modeling environment that can be tailored to expose "just enough" UML based on role, model, life-cycle phase, and current task

Business modeling with BPMN 2

Requirements integration, with end-to-end traceability and impact analysis

Model analyses and metrics; extensible query and analysis frameworks

Model reporting with BIRT

Rich SCM integrations, model compare-merge, and extensible team modeling framework

Rapidly develop custom software factories

Quickly create UML-based domain-specific modeling languages tailored to your problem and solution domains

Use graphical mapping tools to quickly development model-to-model transformations

Use exemplar-driven pattern capture tools combined with a rich JET authoring environment to quickly develop model-to-text/code transformations

Rational Software Architect’s features can be extended with:

Rational Software Architect Extension for C++

Extend the value of IBM Rational Software Architect to solutions that include C++ implementations.

C/C++ Development Tools (CDT)

C++ graphical code editors and visualizers

Built-in transformations: UML to C++, C++ to UML

Operating systems supported: Linux, Windows

Rational Software Architect Extension for SOA and WebSphere

Extends the value of IBM Rational Software Architect to the delivery of Java Enterprise Edition solutions, SOA solutions, and solutions targeted to IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM WebSphere Portal Server. This maximizes developers efficiency and ROI from WebSphere investments.

This extension can be used with IBM Rational Software Architect to provide additional capabilities including:

The complete feature set of IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Standard Edition

Tools for building well-architected, scalable, business-driven SOA solutions

IBM Rational SOMA 2.9 practice guidance: based on extensive IBM Global Services SOA engagement experience, this guides you through the processes and around the pitfalls of candidate service identification and service and solution specification

Integration with IBM WebSphere Business Modeler – opening process models automatically renders them as UML Activity and Use-case models that can them be used for identification of candidate services and specification of service interactions

Rich tooling, aligned to IBM Rational SOMA 2.9 practice guidance, for identifying and specifying services using the OMG standard SoaML modeling language and SoaML-based modeling accelerators (micro-patterns of common service specification constructs that can be easily applied to services models to speed up the modeling process)

Transformations for harvesting service representations (e.g. To participate in model execution-based simulations) and for bottom-up discovery of candidate services: WSDL to UML, Plain-Old Java Object (POJO) to UML, EJB Session bean to UML

General purpose SOA realization transformations: UML Activity to SoaML, BPMN to SoaML, UML to WSDL/XSD, XSD to UML

SOA realization transformations that produce outputs consumable by IBM WebSphere Integration Developer, for developing solutions to run on IBM WebSphere Process Server : UML to Services Component Description Language, UML to BPEL

UML notation-based graphical editor for WSDL

Tools for designing Java EE solutions: UML-to-EJB and EJB-to-UML transformations

C/C++ Development Tools (CDT)

C++ graphical code editors and visualizers

Built-in transformations: UML to C++, C++ to UML

Provides integrated design and development support for model-driven development with the UML.
