| High Value,
End-To-End Modeling
Enterprise
Architect provides full life cycle modeling for : |
 |
| Speed, Stability
and Performance Fast! Enterprise Architect users agree - Enterprise Architect is a spectacularly fast performer, loading extremely large models in seconds. Featuring a high-performance model repository, Enterprise Architect easily accommodates large teams sharing the same view of the enterprise. With tightly integrated version control capabilities, Enterprise Architect also allows globally distributed teams to collaborate effectively on shared projects. |
 |
| End-to-End
Traceability Enterprise Architect provides complete traceability from requirements, analysis and design models, through to implementation and deployment. Effective verification, validation and immediate impact analysis are possible across the entire life cycle, using such capabilities as Enterprise Architect's Relationship Matrix and Hierarchy View. Combined with built-in task and resource allocation, Project managers and QA teams are equipped with the right information to help deliver projects successfully. |
 |
| Model, Manage
and Trace Requirements Capture and trace formal requirements to design, build, deployment and beyond. Use impact analysis to trace proposed changes to original requirements. Build the right system. Enterprise Architect’s built-in requirements management features can be used to : • Define an organized, hierarchical requirements model • Trace the implementation of system requirements to model elements • Search and report on requirements • Perform impact analysis of proposed changes to requirements |
 |
| Manage Complexity Enterprise Architect helps individuals, groups and large organizations model and manage complex information. By integrating and connecting a wide range of structural and behavioral information in visual form, you can build a coherent, verifiable model of what-is or what-will-be. Tools built into Enterprise Architect that help you manage complexity include : • Diagrams for modeling strategic and business level concepts • Domain-specific profiles and reusable model patterns • Baseline and version management for tracking and integrating changes • Role-based security to help the right people contribute in the right way |
 |
| Powerful Document
Generation Enterprise Architect provides powerful document generation and reporting tools with a full WYSIWYG template editor. Generate detailed reports with the information you need in the format your company or client demands! At the click of a button automatically produce HTML versions of your model for easy distribution over the Internet or your organization's intranet. |
 |
| Generation
and Reverse Engineering of Source Code Enterprise Architect supports generation and reverse engineering of source code for many popular languages, including : ActionScript, Ada, C and C++, C#, Java, Delphi, Verilog, PHP, VHDL, Python, System C, VB.Net, Visual Basic, and more...
The built-in source
code editor lets you quickly navigate from model directly to source
code in the same environment. |
 |
| Visualize
your Applications Enterprise Architect helps you visualize your applications by supporting reverse engineering of a wide range of software development languages and database repository schema. Bring in complete frameworks and legacy systems from source code, jar files or even .Net binary assemblies! By importing frameworks and library code, you can maximize re-use and understanding of your existing investment. |
 |
| Advanced Model
Driven Architecture Enterprise Architect supports advanced Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformations using easy to edit transform templates. With built-in transformations for : C#, DDL, EJB, Java, JUnit, NUnit, WSDL, XSD
You can quickly
develop detailed solutions from abstract models. |
 |
| Debugging,
Compiling and Visualizing Executing Code Enterprise Architect enables you to build, test, debug, run and execute deployment scripts, all from within the Enterprise Architect development environment. With the ability to generate NUnit and JUnit test classes from source classes using MDA Transformations and integrate the test process directly into the Enterprise Architect IDE, you can now integrate UML and modeling into the build/test/execute/deploy process. In addition to build/test and execute functionality, Enterprise Architect includes debugging capabilities for Java, .NET and Microsoft Native (C++, C and VB). The debuggers built into Enterprise Architect are specifically designed to enable a developer or tester to capture stack trace information as they ‘walk through’ the executing code, performing runtime inspection of suspended threads. They can then use the final stack trace history to generate Sequence diagrams within Enterprise Architect, converting the actual code execution and calls into visual diagrams. |
 |
| Automation
- Harness the Power The Automation Interface lets you access the internals of Enterprise Architect models. Some examples of tasks you could perform via the Automation Interface : • Automatically generate and publish a daily HTML report to your local intranet • Script repetitive tasks, such as property update common to all model elements • Generate code from a state machine or diagram • Produce custom reports • Execute ad hoc queries against the model Any development environment capable of generating ActiveX Com clients can be used to connect to Enterprise Architect's Automation Interface. |
 |
| Powerful Database
Modeling Enterprise Architect’s built-in Data Modeling profile extends UML to provide an intuitive mapping from the database concepts of tables and relationships onto the UML concepts of classes and associations. These extensions also enable you to model database keys, triggers, constraints, RI and other relational database features. Enterprise Architect supports modeling of database schema and automatic generation of DDL scripts for eleven DBMS targets out-of-the-box : DB2, InterBase, Informix, Ingres, MS Access, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Sybase ASE, ASA, Firebird |
 |
| Systems Engineering
and Simulation Integrating many high-end features for Systems Engineers, the Ultimate and Systems Engineering editions of Enterprise Architect provide built-in support for: • SysML 1.1, 1.2 • Parametric model simulation • Executable code generation • Model to code transformations for Hardware Description Languages and ADA 2005 |
 |
| Business Process
Modeling There are many approaches to Business Process Modeling (BPM) using UML as the base modeling language. In particular, Activity diagrams, Object Diagrams and custom Profiles provide powerful modeling approaches for Business Analysts. Enterprise Architect complements UML 2.3 with BPMN support and extension elements for analysis, requirements management and process management (such as change, feature and issue elements). Enterprise Architect's Business Process Modeling capabilities let you : • Visualize business process with a UML profile for BPMN • Generate executable BPEL scripts from BPMN models • Validate the correctness of BPMN models |
 |
| Build upon
UML 2.3 Enterprise Architect’s foundations are built upon the UML 2 specification - but it doesn’t stop there! Use UML Profiles to extend the modeling domain, while Model Validation ensures integrity. Combine Business Processes, Information and Work Flows in the one model using our free extensions for BPMN and the Eriksson-Penker profile. |
 |
| Effective
Project Management Project managers can use Enterprise Architect to : • Assign resources to elements • Measure risk and effort • Estimate project size and complexity • Implement change control and maintenance procedures
Enterprise Architect's
Use Case Metrics capability makes it easy to assess relative project
complexity, based on the number and type of use cases within the
model, the type of project and capabilities of the development environment.
