Disciplines
The Rational Unified Process consists of nine disciplines.artifact is some document, report, or executable that is produced, manipulated, or consumed. An activity describes the tasksthinking steps, performing steps, and reviewing stepsperformed by workers to create or modify artifacts, together with the techniques and guidelines to perform the tasks, possibly including the use of tools to help automate some of the tasks.Important connections among the artifacts are associated with certain of these disciplines. For example, the use case model generated during requirements capture is realized by the design model from the analysis and design discipline, implemented by the implementation model from the implementation discipline, and verified by the test model from the test discipline.
