Rational Rhapsody - History

History

Rhapsody was first released in 1996 by Israeli software company I-Logix Inc. Rhapsody was developed as an object-oriented tool for modeling and executing Statecharts, based on work done by David Harel at the Weizmann Institute of Science, who was the first to develop the concept of Statecharts.

In 2006, I-Logix's shareholders sold the company to Swedish software company Telelogic AB. Rhapsody became an IBM Rational product after the acquisition of Telelogic AB in 2008, like all former Telelogic products. Since the rebranding, Rational Rhapsody has been integrated with IBM Rational Quality Manager and IBM Rational Publishing Engine.
