These development tools assist the project team throughout the development process. For instance, RequisitePro ensures that project requirements are traceable backward to business needs and forward to design, code and test objects while Rational Rose is utilized to develop the UML data, object and activity models. Throughout the process, all phases are complemented by a set of predefined artifacts that ensure a common repository and nomenclature for all project data, allowing coordination of multiple project teams working on the varied components of a complex system. |
