The rational unified process

This book is the fastest way to get up- and-running with Rational Unified Process 2000 -- the industry's most powerful tool for incorporating best practices into software development. Authored by RUP's Lead Architect, it reflects all the major improvements made-in the newest version of RUP, including its improved support for business engineering, management of non-functional requirements, and deployment of multi-tier distributed applications. Discover how RUP 2000 can enable development teams to maximize software quality -- within predictable schedules and reasonable budgets. Understand what RUP 2000 is, how it evolved, and how it fits into the development process. Next, review the structure of RUP 2000, mastering its use throughout the entire project lifecycle. This edition includes substantial new coverage of application interface design (including Web applications); patterns and frameworks; real-time and reactive systems; lifecycle testing, and more. There are new process roadmaps that demonstrate RUP 2000 at work with many projects and technologies; as well as expanded checklists and guidelines for process artifacts, activities, and phases.
