Learn how you can extend IBM® Rational® Software Architect and
leverage your own custom patterns to automate software design. By using a
combination of the features, you can improve your productivity when designing SOA
and other solutions. You can also use these automation features to improve the
quality of the solution and to support the governance process.
In this tutorial
- In Part 2 of this series, we discuss how you can leverage your
own custom pattern implementations in Rational Software Architect to automate
the design of an SOA solution. Pattern implementations can improve your
productivity, improve architectural enforcement, and improve quality. In
particular, we'll describe how to create your own UML patterns to
better follow the best practices of your own organization.
Objectives
After completing this tutorial, you will have a better understanding of how you
can use tools and features within Rational Software Architect to support
patterns-based engineering. You can use these automations to improve the
productivity of your team, improve the quality of the solution, and support your
governance process. These automations encode your best practices, which are
often specific to your organization, and are part of your
organization's competitive advantage.
Upon completion of this tutorial, you will be able to describe the different
ways in which you can create patterns within Rational Software Architect. In
addition, you will be able to create a simple UML pattern.
