  Master the Complexity of Software Development

  When faced with the increasingly complex job of developing software at today's frenetic pace, most experienced software developers realize the importance of object-oriented analysis, modeling, and design. They also recognize the importance of establishing and maintaining a sound architecture. But when time is short, and people start looking for corners to cut, often the easiest thing to do is abandon these time-tested practices. Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio brings together many of Rational's award-winning development and testing tools into a single, very powerful package. Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio integrates tools specifically tailored for individual project managers, software architects, and developers with software designed to unite individuals and teams into a collaborative force. This unique combination provides the resources your organization needs to master the complexity of software development and deliver high-quality software on time and within budget. A UNIX version of Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio is also available. Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio allows you to manage the complexity of software development in three unique ways:   Create Resilient, Component-Based Architectures ù provides the complete visual modeling environment for high-level modeling, system design, and deployment architecture.   Accelerate Quality ù helps you validate all dimensions of software quality at every development phase.   Unify Your Developers with Your Analysts and Testers ù Common tools, methods, data, and metrics break down walls that can isolate team members.
