The Rational Unified Process An Introduction 2ed















The Rational Unified Process is unique in that it allows development teams to recognize the full benefits of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), software automation, and other industry best practices. The Rational Unified Process unifies the entire software development team and optimizes the productivity of every team member by putting the collective experience derived from thousands of projects and many industry leaders at your fingertips. With this book as your guide, you will be able to more easily produce the highest-quality software. Throughout the book, the author shares his inside knowledge of the process, focusing his coverage on key aspects that are critical to mastering this proven approach to software development. This Second Edition has been updated to match and reflect the contents of the latest version of the Rational Unified Process. RUP 2000 offers: roadmaps that provide overviews of how to apply the process to a wide variety of projects and technologies; expanded analysis of testing, spanning the entire product lifecycle; improved coverage of application interface design--especially as it applies to developing effective web applications; and, insights into designing systems using patterns and frameworks.
