Introduction

Life cycle software design solution - Enterprise Architect is a goal oriented software system.

Basic Introduction

Enterprise Architect is the flagship product of Sparx Systems. It covers the entire cycle of system development, including transaction process analysis, use case requirements, dynamic models, components and layouts, system management, non functional requirements, user interface design, testing and maintenance, in addition to developing class models.

Role

Modeling tools

Provide advanced UML 2.0 modeling tools for the entire team

EA provides users with a high-performance and intuitive work interface, combined with the latest UML 2.0 specification, to create advanced software modeling solutions for desktop computer workers, development, and application teams. This product is not only rich in features, but also highly cost-effective, and can be used to equip your entire work team, including analysts, testers, project managers, quality control, and deployment personnel.

systems design

Enterprise Architect is a complete UML analysis and design tool that can complete the entire software development process from requirement collection, step analysis, model design, to testing and maintenance. Its graphical tools based on the multi user Windows platform can help you design sound and maintainable software. In addition, it also includes high-quality document output with flexible features. The user guide can be obtained online.

Fast, stable, and high-performance

The Unified Modeling Language can build robust and traceable software system models in a consistent manner, and EA provides an easy-to-use, fast, and flexible working environment for this construction process.

process tracking

Enterprise Architect provides comprehensive traceability throughout the entire process from requirement analysis, software design, to execution and deployment. By combining built-in tasks and resource allocation, project managers and QA teams can obtain the information they need in a timely manner to ensure that the project progresses as planned.

Building on UML 2.0

Through UML (Unified Modeling Language), you can build rigorous and traceable software system models. EA provides a fast and convenient application environment for building software models using UML, supporting the new UML 2.0 standard defined by OMG.

The foundation of Enterprise Architect is built on top of the UML 2.0 specification, and not only that, using UML profiles can also expand the scope of modeling, while model validation ensures its integrity. The product includes free extensions for BPMN and Eriksson Parker profiles, which can combine business processes, information, and workflows into one model.

Using EA, designers can fully utilize the functionality of 13 UML 2.0 charts - EA supports all 13 UML 2.0 charts and related chart elements, including:

Structural diagrams: classes, objects, composite elements, packages, components, layouts;

Behavior charts: use cases, communication, sequences, interaction overview, behavior, status, and timing;

Extension: Analysis (simple behavior), customization (requirements, changes, and UI design).

EA provides tools to track dependencies, support large models, and help you manage large and complex projects; Contains tools such as CVS or SCC, with time snapshots as the baseline, to track model changes through comparison and achieve version control; Contains a project window similar to Explorer for you

Work interface

EA also includes a WYSIWYG template editor that provides powerful document generation and reporting tools, capable of generating complex and detailed reports that can provide the required information in the format required by the company or customers.


EA has the ability to forward and reverse engineer source code, supporting multiple general-purpose languages, including C++, C #, Java, Delphi, VBNet, Visual Basic, and PHP. In addition, it can also obtain free CORBA and Python add-on components. EA provides a built-in source code editor with syntax highlighting features to ensure quick navigation and lookup of your model source code in a consistent working environment. For Eclipse or Visual StudioNet staff, Sparx Systems also provides lightweight linking tools to these IDEs, allowing you to model in EA and then directly jump to your preferred editor for further source code development. The code generation template also allows you to customize the generated source code to match company specifications.


EA also provides reverse engineering support for most software development languages and database architectures, allowing your application to visualize and obtain the complete framework from source code, Java. jar files, and even. Net binary assembly language. Maximize the reuse of your existing investments by importing frameworks and library code.


EA also provides transformation templates, which are very simple to edit and develop, and support advanced Model Driven Architecture (MDA). A PIM can be used to generate and synchronize multiple PSMs, significantly improving work efficiency.
