Rhapsody (modeling)

IBM Engineering Rhapsody (formerly Rational Rhapsody), a modeling environment based on <a href="/facts/Unified_Modeling_Language/3tlNS0tH">UML</a>, is a visual development environment for <a href="/facts/Systems_engineering/gFwRmkDp">systems engineers</a> and <a href="/facts/Software_developer/WGTS1Jv9">software developers</a> creating real-time or embedded systems and software. Rhapsody uses graphical models to generate software applications in various languages including <a href="/facts/C_(programming_language)/Ky2No763">C</a>, <a href="/facts/C%252B%252B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a>, <a href="/facts/Ada_(programming_language)/Y2yHel4l">Ada</a>, <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> and <a href="/facts/C_Sharp_(programming_language)/UC2gxeyb">C#</a>.
Developers use Rhapsody to understand and elaborate requirements, create model designs using industry standard languages (<a href="/facts/Unified_Modeling_Language/3tlNS0tH">UML</a>, <a href="/facts/Systems_Modeling_Language/66N9ASg1">SysML</a>, <a href="/facts/AUTOSAR/xYvgNogc">AUTOSAR</a>, <a href="/facts/Department_of_Defense_Architecture_Framework/fjB2hV0z">DoDAF</a>, <a href="/facts/MODAF/6qgLKKzs">MODAF</a>, <a href="/facts/UPDM/mYBTW89e">UPDM</a>), validate functionality early in development, and automate delivery of high structured products.
<a href="https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/rhapsody-model-manager">Rhapsody Model Manager</a> is a web based application that stakeholders, developers, and other team members use to collaborate on the design of products, software, and systems. The product contains a server that hosts model designs which have been developed in Rhapsody. A client extension component included with Rhapsody allows users to connect to a Design Manager server. After connecting to the server, models can be moved into project areas with specific modeling domains based on the industry standard languages supported by Rhapsody. Rhapsody Model Manager also integrates with the IBM solution for Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM). In this environment, artifacts can be associated with other lifecycle resources such as requirements (via <a href="/facts/DOORS/rP19RX74">IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS</a>, <a href="https://www.ibm.com/products/requirements-management/">DOORS Next</a>), change requests and change sets of sources (the <a href="https://www.ibm.com/products/ibm-engineering-workflow-management/">IBM Engineering Workflow Management</a>), and Quality Assurance test cases (the <a href="https://www.ibm.com/products/ibm-engineering-test-management/">IBM Engineering Test Management</a>). Global Configuration control allows different teams and different projects to interact in a synchronised setup that integrates deliveries and baselines within each of the tools in the CLM solution.
