Model-Driven Development for Systems Engineering
and Software Development

---

Rhapsody’s powerful key enabling technologies provide the systems engineer and software developer with UML /SysML compliant tools that can be extended for domain specific modeling, providing a truly collaborative development environment that allows any sized teams, large or small, to communicate effectively and productively. Using integrated requirements management and traceability features ensures that the design always meets the requirements. Engineers and developers can use Design for Testability (DFT) capabilities to reduce defects early in the process and always validate against the requirements. In addition, Rhapsody provides engineers and developers the capability to generate full applications, not just code frames, reducing development time and enabling users to meet challenging time-to-market pressures. These key enabling technologies, packaged in an easy-to-use format, make Rhapsody the first in class solution for the software and systems engineering community.

Rhapsody’s advanced graphical modeling offers realistic design capture for better communications amongst peers.

Model-Driven Development (MDD) technology enables professionals to achieve unparalleled productivity gains over traditional document driven approaches by enabling users to specify the system design and architecture graphically, simulate and automatically validate the system as it is being built. This allows engineers and developers to ultimately produce a quality systems specification that is correct, non-ambiguous and completely satisfies original requirements. Through Rhapsody’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) support, one can rapidly target the Platform Independent Model (PIM) to a real-time embedded operating system in seconds. Rhapsody lends itself to a design approach where the software can be constantly executed and validated on the host environment, then brought right down to the embedded target for target based testing. By fully integrating the specific demands of the systems engineer and the software developer, Rhapsody places a powerful, featureloaded tool in the user’s hands so they can develop high quality systems and software in a shorter time.
