Rational XDE Overview

Rational XDE combines your design and development into a tightly integrated environment. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Rational XDE allow you to work in a single environment, avoiding the need to switch between tools outside of your environment.

There are many ways Rational XDE improves the way you work. For example, Rational XDE allows you to:

  • Move from analysis and design all the way to code within the same environment
  • Specify manual or automatic synchronization between your model and your code
  • Define both code templates and model templates to save time and help enforce standards
  • Create both UML and free-form models and validate models for UML compliance
  • Build multiple models within the same project that can be traced to one another
  • Reuse defined patterns to share code across your team
