SteelTrace announces Rational Rose integration for its Catalyze product
According to the company, this means that Catalyze projects can now be opened within Rational Rose and vice versa. This allows users with little or no UML experience to model and capture use cases in Catalyze. Once the requirements are captured, the technical team can open the Catalyze file within Rational Rose. Use cases appear in UML use-case diagrams and each use-case flow is depicted in a UML activity diagram, ensuring that the business logic is carried over into the world of UML. Rational gave the thumbs-up to the integration. "Less technical users can use Catalyze to easily capture business and system requirements in a use-case driven way," said Bill Taylor, director of developer marketing at Rational. "This integration provides an easy way for less technical users to communicate business requirements to developers designing complex systems with Rational Rose."
