Part 1: During the first two days, the course helps architects and development leads start modeling using UML with the IBM Rational Software Architect Standard Edition, IBM Rational Software Architect for WebSphere Software, or IBM Rational Software Modeler tools. You will gain a hands-on experience with Rational Software Architect as they are introduced to the tool's modeling features and integrations with other tools. You will learn to use model templates, UML diagrams, and the RequisitePro and WebSphere Business Modeler integrations. This course is designed to be customized to include modules on patterns and transformations, static analysis, topology and team modeling. Part 2: Once you have learned in part one how to design a software architecture, the course will provide you with a practical experience for modeling deployments of IT Systems, to bridge the gap between development and deployment teams. Part two describes how you can easily describe an existing IT environment, construct deployment patterns, and integrate UML analysis models with deployment architectures. You will be guided to resolve configuration problems and make binding decisions to create complete and valid deployment models and topologies.
