1. Using Rational Rose
Examples
Dr. Neal
CIS 480

2. Creating a Model Create a model for the “rational unified process”
This model will have a default structure which helps categorize modeling objects
Model is memory resident so SAVE IT

9. Working with Rose
Double clicking object brings up diagram specification or properties depending on the object (like use case)
Right clicking a selected item brings up a object specific menu (like folders)
Choosing plus or minus boxes on browser expands and contracts folders (for model file structure)
Tools palate is to the left of the drawing area (select and then click on drawing space “don’t drag and drop”)
All items are objects and have properties
All items are nested in the model structure based on the object that they are associated with

10. Working with Rose
Associations, dependencies and other joining lines have are objects and have properties associated with each end
Stereotypes are shortcuts that allow a predefinition of objects in Rose
Associations and other object can be displayed per diagram
Adding existing item is a drag and drop to new diagrams
Display characteristics for each object can be altered per diagram
This means that deleting an object from a diagram doesn’t delete the object from the model

11. Your Assignment
Create a Model using the rational unified process as a template
Build the activity diagram for TC 4-13 in rational rose
Save Model as LastName-FirstName.mdl on the CourseWork Drive
