Mapping Borland Tools to the RUP

Introduction

RUP is the most used Software Engineering Process in the moment. Thus, in your Tool Mentors section are indicated Rational Tools for realizes the activities and produces artifacts. In this paper, will be showed how to use Borland Tools instead of Rational Tools. This is possible through ALM initiative launched for Borland recently.

The RUP Structure

The Software Engineering Process are expressed as workflows. A workflow is a sequence of activities that produces a result of observable value. These activities are executed by roles. A role defines the behavior and responsibilities of an individual, or a set of individuals working together as a team, within the context of a software engineering organization. A role is responsible for produces artifacts as result of the activities execution. An artifact is the input and output for the activities. The artifacts produced by team are the final product (documentation and software components) expected by user. To ensure the production of high-quality artifact are provided by RUP checkpoints, templates and reports. Artifacts typically have associated guidelines and checkpoints which present information on how to develop, evaluate and use the artifacts. Templates are "models", or prototypes, of artifacts. Associated with the artifact description are one or more templates that can be used to create the corresponding artifacts. A report extracts information about one or more artifacts from a tool. For example, a report can present an artifact or a set of artifacts for use in a technical review. (Rational RUP, 2003).
However, to make possible the construction of artifacts it is necessary to use tools. The Borland tools are an excellent option for the development team.

For more information about RUP look the appendix.

Appendix

The RUP is based in disciplines and software projects is based in phases that have one or more iterations. View the most famous RUP graphic.

The project is divided in four phases: inception, elaboration, construction and transition. In each phase are used one or more disciplines. The phase are divided in least one iteration. The number of iterations depends of the complexity and risk of the project. The major risks are attacked more early possible, in first iterations.

The RUP Phases are:

Inception phase: are defined the objectives, initial requirements and scope of the project.
Elaboration phase: the requisites are refined and completed. The architect design software solutions to the requisites (functional soluction)
Construction phase: software soluction is constructed by developers.
Transition phase: the components are deployed and users are trained

The RUP Disciplines are:

Bussiness Modeling: maps the company bussiness witch relates to the project. More used in large or complex projects.
Requirements: collect requisites of the key users.
Analisys & Design: design the software requisites in UML models
Implementation: implements the software solution in software components and database components
Test: test the constructed components
Deployment: install components and train users in your use
Configuration & Change Management: mantain and manage the artifacts produced by the software team
Project Management: manage, plan and distribute activities of the team, focusing in quality, schedule, budget and risk attack.
Environment: mantain tools configuration and environment aspects in order to the development team.

Conclusion

The Borland Tools are a real solution to the develop software projects using RUP process and UML language. The tools are integrated, productivity and ease use.
