IBM Rational Telelogic Harmony-SE
Overview
- Service Request-Driven Approach
- Described by means of SysML structure diagrams
- State/mode changes (activities ) described as operational contracts
- Somewhat mirrors “Vee” model
- Task flow and work products (artifacts) include following top-level process elements:
- Requirements Analysis
- System Functional Analysis
- Architectural Design
- Detailed task flows and work products provided for each process element
- Modeled as SysML activity diagrams
Tool Support
- Harmony-SE (and Harmony) were created as tool- and vendor-neutral, model-based methodologies. No process framework tool exists from IBM Rational/Telelogic or third-party provider.
- Tool support for MBSE that supports the methods specified by Harmony-SE and Harmony is, of course, provided by IBM Rational/Telelogic via the Tau and Rhapsody product offerings.
Offering/Availability
- Harmony-SE/SysML Deskbook has been published to help guide the systems engineer and project manager through the entire MBSE methodology. In addition, IBM Rational/Telelogic offers professional services to support methodology adoption.
