IBM Rational Purify is a tool to accurately detect memory corruption errors,
which are otherwise very difficult to analyze and fix. Methodical and systematic use
of Purify during all phases of the software development life cycle can ensure that
you detect these errors early. In this article, you will learn how to reap maximum
benefits from Purify by automating its use and integrating it into your software
development and testing process.

This two-part article series explains how to generate tooling and shapes for UML Profiles to allow custom domain modeling with IBM Rational Systems Developer, IBM Rational Software Architect, and IBM Rational Software Modeler.

This article explains how you can customize the tooling that will be generated
for your UML profile. It assumes you are familiar with the basics of generating
and deploying tooling for profiles. If you are not familiar with this, please
read Part 1, "Generating and deploying tooling," before you continue
(see More in this series).

This article demonstrates how to use traceability queries by using IBM Rational RequisitePro and IBM Rational Systems Developer, and explores an address book project as an example.

This is the third article in a four-part series about IBM Rational Software Analyzer and its related capabilities in IBM Rational Application Developer and IBM Rational Software Architect. It walks you through the process of creating your own custom rules and Rule Sets and using other advanced capabilities that extend Java code review.

This is the second article in a four-part series about IBM Rational Software Analyzer and its related capabilities in IBM Rational Application Developer and IBM Rational Software Architect. It focuses on using the Java code review capabilities for analyzing your code and walks you through the process of creating rules and filters.

This article will show you in detail how to author UML profiles using IBM Rational Software Architect, IBM Rational Systems Developer, and IBM Rational Software Modeler. It addresses both UI and programmatic approaches. You should be familiar with the UML 2.1 specification.

Using IBM Rational Build Forge to schedule, configure, and automate software analysis.

This is the first article in four-part series devoted to IBM Rational Software Analyzer, as well as its related capabilities for static analysis in Rational Application Developer and Rational Software Architect. It focuses on static analysis in high-level, generic terms. Other articles in the series are devoted to using and extending some of the features of Analyzer to help you learn the intermediate- and advanced-level features faster if you want to fully exploit everything that this software offers.
