An Application Of The Rational Unified Process For Requirements Analysis

Abstract

The Rational Unified Process® (RUP)[1] is an effective implementation technique for object oriented systems development.  The RUP® approach allows for flexible process modification and a customization of artifacts to meet the needs of the particular situation.  Marriott International developed a variation of this process as its standard for its SDLC.  This process was implemented in the requirements analysis and design phases of a software project for the Ritz-Carlton subsidiary.  A context-level treatment of the RUP® metamodel produced use cases and a supplementary specification that lead to the systems analysis model development by an external vendor.
