Rational Rose is a complete set of solutions that meet all modeling environments (Web development, data modeling, Visual Studio and C ) demand and flexibility. Rose allows developers, project managers, system engineers and analysts to convert demand and system architecture into code, eliminate waste consumption, and perform visualization, understanding and refinement of demand and system architecture. By using the same modeling tool in the software development cycle to ensure faster, better creating scalable, flexible and reliable application systems that meet customer needs. The following link gives you more introductory materials and can help you choose the ROSE configuration that best in line with your needs.
