I recently took and passed the IBM Certified Specialist for Rational Unified Process - Test 639. Since I had a very difficult time finding information on it I thought I would post my thoughts here.
It contained high level concepts of the RUP. Most of which are defined in: The Rational Unified Process Made Easy: A Practitioner’s Guide to the RUP. My difficulty was deciding what I thought was important verse what the test providers thought was important. So I also used sample test questions from a site called Test King. They were fairly accurate to what was actually on the test, I disagreed with some of their answers but I didn’t get a perfect score on the actual test. Also the wording on some of the questions from Test King was very poor. My first pass though the practice test I looked up the concepts that were being addressed in the question either in the book above or on the internet. Wikipedia has a good synopsis of the RUP.
As for the actual test, it was broken into three topic areas:
• Models and Architecture
• Disciplines
• Iterative Development
Each had 16 questions. There were several questions on UML and several questions on best practices as defined by the RUP. If you have more specific questions I would be happy to answer them.
Good luck for anyone who plans on taking it.
