IBM Rational Unified Process

IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a software development framework that helps teams build high-quality applications efficiently. It organizes the development process into phases—Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition—allowing for gradual refinement and adaptation. RUP emphasizes collaboration, continuous feedback, and iterative progress, enabling teams to manage risks and adapt to changing requirements. By providing guidelines, best practices, and templates, RUP supports project planning, design, coding, testing, and deployment, ensuring that software meets users’ needs while maintaining quality throughout the development cycle.
