Of most interest to developers are UML modeling, image normals, and UML-to-code transformations. After completing this tutorial, you leave behind know how to work a UML model, apply a number pattern to that model, and, finally, transform the abstract model into genuine code. Section 1. Before you startrational package interior designer provides developers, architects, and analysts visual tools for a wide variety of software development tasks. This tutorial introduces a few of these powerful visual tools UML modeling, blueprint patterns, and UML transformations. About this tutorial Learn how to execute, edit, and analyze UML model s using cerebral computer software fashion designer. This tutorial demonstrates the following clear-sighted software Architect capabilities UML modeling consider with apt computer software Architect copyright IBM friendship 2006. all in all rights reserved. Trademarks Page 1 of 22 developerWorks ibm. com/developerWorks objective patterns UML transformations This tutorial is intended for software developers, architects, and analysts interested in study about keen-witted Software Architects visual modeling capabilities. If you want to learn how to transform high-level UML models into unquestionable code without even knowing a particular programming language, this tutorial is for you. Objectives After completing this tutorial, you will know how to use Rational Software Architect to create UML witnesss and models, apply design patterns to those models (new or alive), and transform UML models into source code or into a different type of model.Prerequisites This tutori al assumes that you have some fellowship of umber programming, and design patterns. Knowledge of UML models is helpful, but not required. System requirements To run the examples in this tutorial, install Rational Software Architect. If you dont have a copy of Rational Software Architect, download a free ravel version. altogether of the prerequisites for Rational Software Architect are located in the Resources section of this tutorial. Section 2. Create a UML modeling bulge out To get started, you need to do some initial set up. First, create a UML project and model.

Section 3. Model a design patternNow its time to select a design pattern, apply that design pattern to a model, observe all relationships of the pattern, and confer attributes and operations to the model. Design patterns in RSA Rational Software Architect comes incase with support for all of the Gang of Four design patterns. You also have the ability to import and create your own design patterns.

Conclusion CongratulationsIn this tutorial, you covered the creation of a UML project and model, selecting and applying a design pattern to a model, adding and editing attributes and operations to a model, and transforming that model into actual code. You did all of this without even writing a line of code It is easy to see (even with this simple tutorial) how visual UML modeling tools simplify code development.
