Introduction: C++ tutorial

The C++ tutorial starts with a UML project in C++ containing an analysis package with high-level requirements for the vehicle sensor.

Using IBM® Rational Rhapsody Developer for C++ the developer opens a basic C++ project with high-level requirements and a use case. The developer creates a design package with a sequence diagram and an object model diagram. The object model diagram contains the following design elements:
  • The vehicle sensor
  • The start button
  • The display panel
  • The counter
The developer generates code and builds the model.

Learning objectives

A developer uses this tutorial to learn how to:
