Rational Technology for Full Life Cycle Systems and Software Development

From requirements analysis, custom design, and implementation, to maintenance, training, and mentoring, ARINC provides complete, end-to-end services for all stages of the software development life cycle. One important reason we've had such long-term success developing applications for our customers and ourselves is the use of the Rational Tool Suite®, which helps us manage project cost, schedule, risk, and complexity. The suite includes:

  • Rational Unified Process® (RUP)—Provides guidelines, templates, and examples for each critical software development activity
  • RequisitePro®—Ensures well-defined, testable, and traceable software requirements
  • SoDA®—Automates project documentation
  • Rose®—Creates and manages visual models through a common language by capturing key abstractions and patterns
  • ClearQuest®—Tracks and manages defects and change requests for any project on any platform

The Rational Suite streamlines overall workflow, resulting in faster time-to-operation and higher quality software. In fact, ARINC has found the Rational Tool Suite to be so powerful and effective that we now offer a Rational Mentoring Program. Our experts will guide your team every step of the way as they:

  • Impart Rational skills and knowledge
  • Help integrate the Rational Tool Suite into your organization
  • Tailor the RUP to meet your particular needs
  • Demonstrate how Rational Tools can help you implement the RUP to meet SEI CMMI certification levels

Whether you would like us to build your application, or want to bring the Rational Tool Suite into your own organization, ARINC can put its first-hand, in-depth knowledge of Rational technology to work for you.

Did You Know

ARINC used Rational technology to streamline the development of its cutting-edge VHF Digital Link Mode 2 (VDLM2) communications network, used by commercial aircraft to transmit and receive flight operation and scheduling data. Using the Rational Tool Suite's object-oriented technology, ARINC performed complete systems development and integration, including software, hardware, and COTS. Plus, we met all milestones and came in under budget on this $100 million project.
