What is IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody - Developer?

IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody - Developer is a model-driven development (MDD) environment that provides support for UML, SysML and AUTOSAR, and gives you the flexibility to work in your domain-specific language (DSL). The program helps you automate the software development lifecycle, promote asset reuse, optimize team collaboration, and identify defects and design errors early in the development lifecycle. Software engineers can create efficient and testable software architectures and designs before target hardware is available, which is essential for agile development and real-time and embedded applications.

Benefits

Gain abstraction capabilities

Express specifications and design graphically. Improve communication across teams and across the supply chain by using industry standards and unambiguous notations.

Verify and validate

Get early and continuous proof of specification and testing of design through model-based simulation and analysis.

Provide traceability

Show how and why design decisions and tradeoffs were made through the steps of requirements > specification > design > code.

Key features

  • Fully embedded application generation
  • Simulation and model-based testing
  • Integration within the IBM Rational platform
  • Creation of artifacts that conform to standards
  • Requirements traceability
  • Team collaboration
  • Extended functionality with add-on software
