The Bridge solution is the integration of IBM/Telelogic's Rhapsody for Model-Driven Development (MDD) and BigLever's Gears for Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE). Integrated tool support for both MDD and SPLE provides a simple, elegant approach to effectively manage product line diversity in MDD and to cleanly integrate MDD into SPLE lifecycles. The Rhapsody/Gears Bridge offers optimized software reuse, increased productivity and reduced cost, resulting in dramatic reductions in time-to-market for new products and increases in portfolio scalability.
