Rational Unified Process

Rational Unified Process

• It brings together elements from all the generic models and supports prototyping and incremental delivery.
• Rational Unified Process is normally described from 3 perspectives:
  1. A dynamic perspective shows the phases of the model over time.
  2. A static perspective shows the process activities that are enacted.
  3. A practice perspective suggests good practices to be used during the process.

Workflow

• Business Modelling: The business process are modelled using business use cases.
• Requirements: Actors who interact with the system are identified and use cases are developed to model the system requirements.
• Analysis and Design: A design model is created and documented using architectural models, component models, object models, and sequence models.
• Implementation: The components in the system are implemented and structured into implementation sub-systems.
• Testing: It is an iterative process that is carried out in conjunction with implementation. System testing follows the completion of the complementation.
• Deployment: A product release is created, distributed to users and installed in their workplace.
• Configuration and Change Management: Support workflow managed changes to the system.
• Project Management: Support workflow manages the system development.
• Environment: This workflow is concerned with making appropriate software tools available to the software development team.
