ADVERTISING SECTION DESIGN AND MODELING TOOLS Sparx Systems Unify your team throughout the entire development lifecycle from requirements gathering, analysis, design and build, through to testing, deployment and maintenance. Take advantage of a truly agile modeling and design solution, with outstanding performance and scalability built in from the start. A modeling tool that cuts across the disconnects between different disciplines and organizational units, providing a tightly integrated and unified vision for all to share. Enterprise Architect 7.1 - high performance, high availability modeling for Business, IT and Systems Sparx Systems CONTACT INFORMATION: Sparx Systems Operating Systems Supported: Microsoft® Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 2003 Server or Linux with Crossover Office sparks@sparxsystems.com URL: www.sparxsystems.com scripts and results, project management, metrics, risk, defects, changes and maintenance details. Use this information to drive and track product development and delivery. Share and Re-Use Models Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect supports a number of mechanisms for exporting and importing models using industry standard XMI. You can use information created in a wide range of tools supporting XMI, copy information between Enterprise Architect models and use custom tools which take XMI directly as input. Model and Manage Information Integrate and connect a wide range of structural and behavioral information, building a coherent and verifiable architectural model of what-is and what-willbe. Leverage full traceability from base requirements to design, build, deployment and beyond. Trace back from built artifacts and deployed solutions to original requirements and proposals. ments, HTML based reports and a free Reader edition of Enterprise Architect which can be given to your customers and non-authoring team members at no cost. Design and Build with UML UML provides a rich language for describing, documenting and designing software, business and IT systems in general. Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect allows you to leverage the full expressive power of UML 2.1 to model, design and build a diverse range of systems in an open and well understood manner. Make MDA Work Model Driven Architecture decouples your implementation from your abstract model, allowing a single model to drive multiple device dependent solutions. Because MDA is an open standard, Enterprise Architect has a rich and extendable set of tools, templates and transformations built in to support MDA. Share your Vision A scalable, easily deployed, multi-user tool with a rich modeling language based on UML and extended with industry standard Profiles and Technologies. Integrate diverse teams with a common model and common goal. Stay on track throughout all phases of a product or system's development and maintenance lifecycle. Enterprise Architect acts as a single repository for business analysts, software architects, developers, project managers, testers, roll-out and support, providing a 'unified' view of a complex system of many view points and many possible sub-systems. Multiple reporting mechanisms provide a flexible solution for disseminating and sharing models amongst all stakeholders. Industry standard rich text (RTF) docu- Dissect Complex Software Software is inherently complex and often hard to understand. With Enterprise Architect you can both reverse engineer a wide variety of source code to understand static structure and use the unique builtin profiling and debugging tools to capture and visualize executing software at run-time. Automatically record and create diagrams with both object behavior and object state shown. Reverse engineer database schema and integrate existing data models into your projects. Experiment with live, run-time instances of model elements using the built in Object Workbench. Organize your Architecture With a powerful extension mechanism based on the UML Profile standard built into Enterprise Architect, additional technologies and frameworks can be written and plugged in to create complete new modeling languages and methodologies. Example frameworks already available from Sparx Systems include Zachman, DoDAF, MODAF and TOGAF. These provide significant benefits for large enterprises, government and military teams building complex and mission critical systems.
