Rational Statemate Overview : The Rational Statemate Development Environment

The Rational Statemate Development Environment

Rational Statemate encapsulates the design and simulation of simple or complex reactive systems, enabling systems engineers to flesh out problems and firm up their specifications during the design stage, rather than during implementation – or worse, after the system is in production or has shipped to customers.

Although problems discovered beyond the requirements-gathering and design stages cost roughly 100 times more to fix, almost half the work done on systems projects is devoted to reworking just these sorts of problems.

Rational Statemate is designed to eliminate this sort of costly re-engineering by increasing project and system clarity (which fosters cooperation and reduces misunderstandings between collaborating groups and suppliers), identifying ambiguous or conflicting requirements, targeting modules and sub-systems for reuse, and providing accurate simulation and rigorous validation - all of which translates into increased productivity, faster time-to-market, and an overall increase in enterprise Return On Investment (ROI).
