Tool Mentors: Implementing the Process Using Rational Tools
The Rational Unified Process provides guidelines for all phases of software
development. It uses Tool Mentors to provide guidance on using Rational tools. Tool
Mentors give detailed descriptions of how to perform steps in the process, or produce
a particular artifact or report, using one or more tools.
In the next exercise, you use a Tool Mentor to get instructions for the work you will do
first: defining use cases.
