Rational Rhapsody family

IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Rhapsody enables systems engineers to elaborate and analyze requirements, optimize architectures, and validate design behavior and performance while automatically creating systems specifications, interface design documents and systems test cases.

Two base editions are available for systems engineers:

Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers: Low cost system engineering environment for analyzing and elaborating requirements, making architecture trade offs with parametric evaluations, and documenting designs while automatically creating systems specifications, interface design documents and systems test cases using SysML, UML, AUTOSAR or UPDM (additional add on).

Rational Rhapsody Designer for Systems Engineers Includes all the capabilities of Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers above plus provides the ability to prototype, simulate and execute designs for early validation of requirements, architecture and behavior.

Deliver higher quality systems and software faster

Software engineers use IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® family to create efficient and testable software architectures and designs before target hardware is available, essential for Agile development, all while automating the development, validation, test and documentation of real-time and embedded application

Two base editions are available for software engineers:

Rational Rhapsody Architect for Software: Low cost integrated software engineering environment to graphically architect C++, C, Java and C# applications using UML or AUTOSAR, reuse existing code with reverse engineering, generate code frames (including MISRA-C and MISRA-C++) automatically synchronize design and code, generate design documentation and graphically specify test cases.

Rational Rhapsody Developer: Embedded and real-time agile software engineering environment with full application generation for C++, C, Java and Ada (including MISRA-C and MISRA-C++), rapid prototyping and simulation for design level debugging, automated build generation for continuous integration and support for safety critical software lifecycle, in addition to the capabilities of Rational Rhapsody Architect for Software
