Many software developers are using standard modeling languages with
a model-driven development (MDD) process to improve productivity,
quality, and communication. IBM. Rational. Rhapsody. is a tool that
you can use to communicate through interconnected diagrams that are
based on UML and SysML. By using this software, you and your team
members can identify design problems early, when they are the less
costly to address.

Rational Rhapsody includes an integrated software development
environment in which you can create, test, document, and deliver
software applications for embedded or real-time applications.
Rhapsody Version 7.5 includes these features:

* A code-engineering workflow that integrates MDD into a project or
code base by providing seamless code visualization, code generation
updates to files, and makefile-guided reverse engineering and code
visualization to flowcharts
* Improved support for high-reliability and safety-critical software
development by supporting MISRA-C:2004, Ada Ravenscar, Modeling and
Analysis of Real Time Embedded systems (MARTE) profile, and
by embedding requirements text directly in the generated code
* Enhanced integration with IBM. Rational. Team Concert so that
teams can collaborate in real time and support an agile configuration
management workflow You can also use Rhapsody to specify your systems
and to extend systems engineering capabilities by using these features:

* United Profile for MoDAF and DODAF (UPDM) support to specify DoDAF 1.5
or MODAF 1.2-compliant architectures in the standard format
* Enhanced SysML 1.1 support and activity diagrams improvements to define
the functional flow of a system
* Improved integration with IBM. Rational. DOORS. to ensure a seamless
workflow and to automatically synchronize when requirements change in
multiple locations
The sections that follow describe the new features of Rational Rhapsody 7.5
that systems engineers and software developers can use to collaborate.
