2 Description Tau's capabilities help you: Fully embrace SOA A consistent view that captures a definition of the entire service oriented architecture Simulation of composite applications, with the ability to invoke Web services over the internet to simulate and evaluate the entire composite application Generation of new services in deployable Java tm, C#, or C++, guaranteeing consistency with the architectural specification, while promoting reuse for future applications Reverse-engineering and visualizing software from source code to design and construct new services from existing designs Adapting legacy services through development of an SOA-aware wrapper Round-trip engineering of WSDL and XSD interfaces, including automated generation of the interfaces for new services Visualization and reverse-engineering of existing web services definition language and xml schema definition interfaces for analysis and understanding Simulate and test as you develop Automated error checking which will visibly display all semantic and syntax errors as they are entered into the design model, making it easy for developers to correct these mistakes before they propagate into downstream errors that are difficult and expensive to fix. Rules-based model checking that will compare the design model against over 1,000 enterprise rules and guidelines to ensure adherence to industry standards and best practices. Users may develop and extend rules for their domain or project. An ability to execute and run design models to completion. Users specify the structure and behavior of the system under development, which are then used to simulate and demonstrate functionality to analyze and verify the design at any stage of the development process. The simulation can even call existing Web services over the internet as part of 's Web-enabled SOA simulation. A model-based validator that enables architects and developers to perform automated quality assurance on their designs at a higher level of abstraction. Errors and inconsistencies are identified in previously untested or weakly tested components while detecting deadlock, livelock, signal race conditions, and many other types of inconsistencies and errors. Implement a requirements-driven approach A tight integration between requirements modeling and embedded application development ensures that development teams focus on building what is truly needed for success of the project or program. It also ensures that time and financial resources are used to their utmost potential. Through inclusion of a requirements diagram in the model itself, Tau supports traceability between different levels of design, directly specifying application and generating documentation. Tau extends requirements engineering with a tight IBM Rational DOORS integration. The integration combines requirements, models, and designs to form an iterative approach that allows continual validation and verification. The integration offers: del simulation and analysis at each stage of development. Dependencies are created between requirements and model elements, with finegrained traceability links fully synchronized back to DOORS.

3 Up-to-date requirements data in IBM Rational DOORS is incrementally reflected in Tau, while proposed changes and added requirements are transmitted back to DOORS. Full traceability is available across all diagrams and models, including generated source code. Collaborate across teams and organizations 's graphical compare-and-merge capability supports the parallel development and design of variant system builds. All design model elements can be compared and merged, ensuring that no differences are missed. In addition, offers a tight integration with IBM Rational Synergy to enable configuration management and version control of any size program or project. By allowing the model to be split and recombined at will, enables program managers to distribute development efforts across all available resources. Collaboration is further enhanced through HTML-based report generation and an online model browser, providing a means to reach global consensus in real time. Text-based reports are quickly produced for customers and program management. Automate your document generation Tau automatically generates customizable reports and documentation at any point in the development cycle, supporting team collaboration for synchronization and design reviews, as well as formal reporting to management and customers. Reports can be created in HTML for online viewing and in text-based format for hard-copy documents. Design, develop, and deliver high-quality software Design quality software With its support for UML 2.1, Tau enables you to: Rapidly create and maintain detailed design and implementation models Show complete component and interface definitions Specify complex interactions and interfaces between software components Provide a precise visual definition of software behavior Easily correct mistakes early in the process with comprehensive and immediate syntax and semantic checking Develop high-quality software Tau includes powerful simulation and debugging, enabling you to: Fix and detect design errors before implementation Compile and execute design models on the host environment Automatically create test case generation, execution, and tracking Deliver high-quality software 's support for application generation from the model enables you to: del-based Java development and code generation, supporting modeling using any combination of UML graphical, UML textual or Java syntax, round-trip and reverse engineering, and integration with the Sun Java Studio and Eclipse IDEs. also fully supports Java annotations and J2EE and Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE 5) frameworks and libraries del-based C# and C++ development and code generation, round-trip and reverse engineering, and integration with Microsoft Visual Studio.NET for graphical debugging Complete model to executable generation for real-time, technical applications in C - with generation optimized for either smaller targets or larger footprint IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3

4 systems. Configuration of deployment onto specific targets, including modeling of the threading implementation Have full traceability from requirements to code: text-based requirements can even be automatically be inserted as comments in the round-tripped source code Automatically generate, execute, and manage test cases Tau's architectural approach means that the model is the application; therefore when testing the model, you are also testing the application. Test against requirements Tau supports automated and on-demand error checking and simulation, plus the ability to develop tests in parallel with the system, offering you: Tests and a system derived from the same requirements Support for design simulation through executable models A /IBM Rational DOORS integration for a requirements-driven testing workflow del-based testing and test case generation Tau provides a structure to specify tests in UML 2.0, with support for the UML Testing Profile, developed by the Object Management Group (OMG). This capability brings the following key features to Tau: Graphical test specification in UML Automatic creation of test specifications from model elements Generation of executable test models from test specifications Test execution (both in interactive and batch mode) Logging del-based validation and quality testing Explorer Add On is an optional capability that complements 's model execution, enabling you to perform automated quality assurance on your designs at a higher level of abstraction. Errors and inconsistencies are found before they are coded - while they are still easy and inexpensive to correct. Extend and customize your modeling environment The Tau MDD environment has been designed to be highly extensible by its users. Featuring an open architecture that is strictly based on the UML 2.1 metamodel, Tau can be extended and customized to meet your domain-specific needs. Extensibility includes ways that the user can: Write and use Add-Ins Extend the information contents of UML models using profiles Extend 's error checker with custom semantic checks Extend or constrain 's user interface and diagrams Start from the command-line Access and modify the contents of UML models using a programmable interface (public APIs in various technologies) Define custom code generators and other tools integrated with 's Application Builder IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 4
