The IBM Rational Unified Process for System z (RUP for System z) addresses application development on System z. However the core of the method is applicable outside of the scope of the z environment, to any development using procedural programming languages.
The IBM® Rational Unified Process® (RUP®) for System z™ (RUP for System z) is a variation of RUP for the System z environment. RUP for System z provides z practitioners with specific software development guidance and a succinct end-to-end process. RUP for System z includes a large set of work product examples, mostly produced using IBM tools, and taken from an application created in CICS COBOL and exposed as Web services (using both the CICS Web Services Assistant and the Enterprise Generation Language: EGL). RUP for System z depicts software development practices currently in use in the z environment while leveraging some of the modern best practices encompassed in the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and its Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) extension.
