How to register a Rational project in Rational Administrator?

  1. Run Start > Programs > Rational Suite > Rational Administrator.
  2. Right-click on Projects. From the shortcut menu that appears, click Register Existing Project.
  3. In the Select Rational Project dialog box, browse to the Rational project file (.rsp), then click Open. Your project name should be added below Projects.
  4. Right-click on your project name, then click Connect. All assets and development information associated with your project will appear.

What are the databases used by a Rational project to store project information?

  • ClearQuest database - used to store project's change requests (defects and enhancement requests).
  • RequisitePro database - used to store project's business and system requirements.
  • Rational Test datastore - used to store project's testing information (test assets, logs, and reports).
  • Rational Rose - used to store project's visual models.

How to attach the ClearQuest database to your project?

  • ClearQuest database - used to store project's change requests (defects and enhancement requests).
  • RequisitePro database - used to store project's business and system requirements.
  • Rational Test datastore - used to store project's testing information (test assets, logs, and reports).
  • Rational Rose - used to store project's visual models.

What Is the Rational Unified Process (RUP)?

RUP is a process framework for developing software that helps you:

  • Coordinate the developmental responsibilities of the entire development team.
  • Produce high-quality software.
  • Meet the needs of your users.
  • Work within a set schedule and budget.
  • Leverage new technologies.

What Are Key Concepts in the Rational Unified Process

  • A discipline shows all activities that produce a particular set of software assets. RUP describes development disciplines at an overview level - including a summary of all roles, workflows, activities, and artifacts that are involved.
  • A role is defined as the behavior and responsibilities of an individual or a group of individuals on a project team. One person can act in the capacity of several roles over the course of a project. Conversely, many people can act in the capacity of a single role in a project. Roles are responsible for creating artifacts.
  • A workflow is the sequence of activities that workers perform toward a common goal. A workflow diagram serves as a high-level map for a set of related activities. The arrows between activities represent the typical, though not required, flow of work between activities.
  • A activity is a unit of work that is performed by a particular role. It is a set of ordered steps, like a recipe, for creating an artifact.
  • A artifact is something a role produces as the result of performing an activity. In RUP, the artifacts produced in one activity are often used as input into other activities. An artifact can be small or large, simple or complex, formal or informal. Examples of artifacts are: a test plan, a vision document, a model of a system¡¯s architecture, a script that automates builds, or application code.
