Rational Software Architect virtually teems with visual tools to handle a number of development tasks. Of most interest to developers are UML modeling, design patterns, and UML-to-code transformations. After completing this tutorial, you will know how to create a UML model, apply a design pattern to that model, and, finally, transform the abstract model into actual code.

Prerequisites

After completing this tutorial, you will know how to use Rational Software Architect to create UML projects and models, apply design patterns to those models (new or existing), and transform UML models into source code or into a different type of model. This tutorial assumes that you have some knowledge of Java programming, and design patterns. Knowledge of UML models is helpful, but not required.
