Greg, try
this link for an angle on the subject. The RUP and the UP are fairly indistinguishable from each other as they are effectively the same iterative software development process.
shailesh,
thanks for your comments (below), i'll rephrase:
what i wrote:
On the UML side, it's probably more accurate to say that the RUP (UP) is an approach that is especially well-suited to the UML, but according to UML documentation the RUP isn't dependent upon it.
what i meant:
On the UML side, it's probably more accurate to say that the RUP (UP) is an approach that is especially well-suited to
using the UML, but according to UML documentation the RUP isn't dependent upon
the UML (or any other particular notation for that matter).
All I meant was that they go well together. 'like peas 'n' carrots'.
(the UML documentation I was referring to was the UML user guide, by none other than the three amigos, which also has a good section on the RUP.)
if only the english language was as exacting as a computer language
yours communicatively,
George
