Rational Rose® is a set of UML modeling tools for software design, which is produced and marketed by the Rational division of IBM (previous Rational Software Corporation, the developer of UML). By use of Rational Rose® software engineers can create visual models of software architectures, databases, application requirements and reusable assets. The Rational Rose® product family provides a set of model-driven capabilities for developing Java Platform, UNIX and Linux Platforms, and Microsoft Visual Studio-based software applications. Rational Rose® includes tools for reverse engineering and code generation of classes and architectures, for example, it allows software developers to generate code for Java Enterprise Edition software applications from visual models using the UML. By the help of configuration management and version control system, changes made to a model can be set available to other teammates. Another advantage of Rational Rose is Add-Ins feature. This allows developers to install programming languages, such as C++, PowerBuilder, Forte, java, Visual Basic, and XML to generate necessary codes. Rational Rose® provides full team support. The team management features support the development of large and complex projects. | Rational Rose® is a set of UML modeling tools for software design, which is produced and marketed by the Rational division of IBM (previous Rational Software Corporation, the developer of UML).

Introduction
Object-Oriented(O-O) design tools are mainly used to create UML visual model for software design, such as the IBM® Rational Rose®, Microsoft Visio and PowerDesigner. The Unified Modeling Language(UML) is a standardized language approved by the Objective Management Group™ (OMG™). UML is used for sepcifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting models in software systems.The UML was developed by Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh at Rational Software in the 1990s.<ref>Marc Hamilton (1999) Software Development: A Guide to Building Reliable Systems p.48</ref>The UML has synthesized the notations of the Booch method, the Object-modeling technique (OMT) and Object-oriented software engineering (OOSE) by fusing them into a single, common and widely usable modeling language.<ref>OMG Unified Modeling Language (OMG UML), Superstructure. Version 2.4.1 http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.4.1/Superstructure</ref>
O-O Design Tools
There are a lot of object oriented design tools can be used for software development.<ref>List of UML modeling tools http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools</ref> Rational Rose® is the most popular design tools used for developing complex software system.

Rational Rose® is a set of UML modeling tools for software design, which is produced and marketed by the Rational division of IBM (previous Rational Software Corporation, the developer of UML). By use of Rational Rose® software engineers can create visual models of software architectures, databases, application requirements and reusable assets. The Rational Rose® product family provides a set of model-driven capabilities for developing Java Platform, UNIX and Linux Platforms, and Microsoft Visual Studio-based software applications. Rational Rose® includes tools for reverse engineering and code generation of classes and architectures, for example, it allows software developers to generate code for Java Enterprise Edition software applications from visual models using the UML.

This allows developers to install programming languages, such as C++, PowerBuilder, Forte, java, Visual Basic, and XML to generate necessary codes. Rational Rose® provides full team support. The team management features support the development of large and complex projects.

Microsoft Visio
Microsoft Visio is a diagramming and vector graphics application. In Microsoft Visio Professional 2000, it first time provide support for UML modeling. The Microsoft Visio UML Model Diagram template provides full support for creating object-oriented models of complex software system. But it only support programming languages developed by Microsoft, such as Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET and Microsoft Visual C#.NET.
