To understand how Rational Suite fits into your development environment, you can
work through the entire tutorial, or read only those chapters most appropriate to your
role. If you choose to complete the exercises in the tutorial, it is important that you
complete all exercises in each chapter before attempting to perform the exercises in
subsequent chapters, because each series of exercises builds upon the information and
