Collaborative Model-Driven Development for
Software, Systems and Test

How does a system engineer or software developer meet demands for complex, robust deliverables when there is little time to produce, let alone test the systems and software before they must go into production?

In industrial automation, automotive electronics, and next-generation telecommunication infrastructures, systems engineers and software designers are faced with intense global competition that require robust, complex features in the final deliverable product.

To meet these challenges, Telelogic introduces Rhapsody, the embedded marketplace’s leading SysML 1.0 / UML™ 2.1 Model-Driven Development (MDD) environment that uniquely addresses the needs of both the system engineer and software developer. Rhapsody is recognized as the “best of class” Model-Driven Development solution by engineers and developers in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to medical and transportation, to name but a few areas in which the tool is currently being used.

Rhapsody solves the problems associated with balancing the pressures of rapid development times and delivering high quality systems and software by creating a modeling environment that places powerful enabling technologies in the hands of systems and software professionals. The result is a complete systems and software tool chain that operates seamlessly with engineers and developers through the requirements, specification, design, implementation, and test development cycles.

Rapid development, testability, meeting cost reduction goals and creating quality deliverables are the drivers behind how the Rhapsody modeling tool works. Rhapsody does this by pairing the graphical Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) with advanced systems design and analysis capabilities, resulting in a complete model-driven development environment that spans the entire process, from requirements capture through analysis, design, implementation, and test. Quite simply, the new design automation tool reduces complexity, drives productivity and keeps systems and software engineers working in synch for faster, better quality results the first time through the design process.
