Verifying the Rational Rose RealTime import process

After you import a Rational Rose® RealTime model, you should verify the model and diagrams to check the integrity of the data.

About this task

You might want to compare each Rational Rose RealTime model with the corresponding model in Rational® Software Architect RealTime Edition to check the similarities and differences, especially the notational differences between UML versions. Check the Problems view to review error, warning, and informational messages that might appear during the import process. After you import a model, error, warning, and informational messages are common because of the difference between UML versions.

To verify the import process:

  1. To locate broken semantic rules in an imported model, in the Project Explorer view, right-click a model; then click Validate. Typically, any errors relate to adherence to UML requirements, logic, structure, and use.
  2. Confirm that the application model creates the code to build the application.
  3. Compare the original Rational Rose RealTime model with the new model to learn how the UML notation differs from Rational Rose RealTime. Compare specific models and diagrams to discover the notational differences in UML and to verify the integrity of the diagrams.
  4. Import tests that were created in Rational Rose RealTime and run them in Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition.
  5. Ensure that models that compile and link in Rational Rose RealTime also compile and link in Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition.
