Rational Software Corporation Bennett Adelson’s approach to software development includes using proprietary and off the shelf tools to aid in the process. The Rational suite of products are available and chosen within each project and may be involved in and enhance one or more phases of development including requirements gathering, system design and analysis, development, and system testing. As with all partnerships that Bennett Adelson forms, this is based upon a common ideology and best practices, including: Develop Iteratively - To identify and eliminate risks before they threaten your project. Manage Requirements - To ensure resilience in the face of inevitable change. Use Component Architectures - To make your architecture tangible to all practitioners. Model Visually - To attain and preserve a high-quality architecture. Continuously Verify Quality - To ensure quality throughout the development life cycle. Manage Change - To enable efficient parallel development within teams and across the enterprise.
