Process Advisor

This feature provides seamless integration of the development process into the Rational Application Developer development environment. It provides context sensitive information based on the elements being worked with within the environment. The Process Advisor is accessed by selecting Help Æ Process Advisor.

Figure | -3 shows a UML class diagram and a class selected in that diagram. The figure also shows the Process Advisor window. Because the element selected in this case is a class, the information provided in the Process Advisor is RUP specific information that is relevant to a class. You can see that artifacts such as Design Class and Design Model are listed. Clicking one of these opens the Process Browser at the relevant page in the RUP documentation. It is therefore possible for a developer to jump quickly to the RUP guidance documentation for any specific element they are working with.
