The IBM 486 test is part of the "IBM Certified Solution Developer - IBM Websphere Studio Application Developer for Windows, V4.0.3" certification. (Geez, IBM, can't you name your certifications a little better.)

To get that certification, you must pass three exams:
1. IBM 486 - UML
2. SJCP - Java 2
3. IBM 157 - Websphere for Windows V4.0.3
These exams can be taken in any order.
