Who is Sparx Systems? Established in 1998 Leading provider of UML modeling tools Enterprise Architect for UML 2 (2. 0 2. 1) Support for Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) Support for emerging modeling technologies and frameworks (BPMN, UPDM, Sys. ML) Representation in over 60 countries http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Who is Sparx Systems? UML Modeling Platform Application Integration UML Integration Language Extensions http: //www. sparxsystems. com

What is Enterprise Architect? Our Flagship UML 2 Modelling Platform Supports the latest UML 2 standard All 13 diagrams supported Approaching 100, 000 licenses worldwide Visual Requirements modelling Only tool to seamlessly integrate requirements modelling with UML 2 Tight integration with formal specifications & system models http: //www. sparxsystems. com

What is Enterprise Architect? Reporting RTF, HTML Template-based, highly customisable Code Engineering Over ten languages supported out-of-the-box http: //www. sparxsystems. com

What is Enterprise Architect? Model Transforms Language Extensibility, automated modelling Extensible Customization framework for Domain Specific Modelling UML profiles, UML patterns & Model templates Add-In Capability Interoperable COM Interface for remote control Extensible Meta-data Interchange (XMI) for interoperability and model serialization http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Value-Added UML http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Requirements Modelling EA extends UML to support visual requirements modelling Requirement, Feature elements Specify Requirements on the model Standard UML modelling techniques Defined within UML package hierarchy Relationships modelled with standard UML connectors Traceability within entire model Requirements can be ‘realised’ by other elements Requirements can ‘depend’ on other elements http: //www. sparxsystems. com

UML 101 – Requirements Modelling With integrated Requirements, we can: Search the model: Based on status, priority, other Analyse: Visualise the impact of requirement change Report: Automatically generate RTF or HTML reports Deliver: Reports or actual model – ‘Live SRS’ Search Report http: //www. sparxsystems. com Deliver

Domain-Specific Modelling UML Profiles “Lightweight” extension to UML Provide a domain-specific modeling vocabulary Define a collection of stereotypes that apply to various UML constructs Define constraints & appearance in tool Many standard profiles available: Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) XML Schema (XSD) CORBA, Eriksson-Penker, Sys. ML, UPDM http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Domain-Specific Modelling EA Provides Powerful customization framework for Domain Specific Modelling Support for graphical notation Support for constraints, rules UML 2 -based Users can define their own UML profiles http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Domain-Specific Modelling BPMN Example Business Process Modelling Notation Standard notation for defining business processes BPMN defined by BPM. org, adopted by OMG. org Online Bookstore Example http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Domain-Specific Modelling BPMN Example http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Model-Driven Architecture Design abstract services/design model, independent of the underlying technology Generate concrete services/design model, specific to the underlying technology Platform Independent Model (PIM) Automated Transformation http: //www. sparxsystems. com Platform Specific Model (PSM)

Model-Driven Architecture Online Bookstore Example Define abstract service model Derive web services model PIM PSM Generate WSDL PSM Generate Client/Server Code PSM http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Interoperability Migrating from other UML tools Model Import / Export support XMI 1. 0, 1. 1 XMI 2. 0, 2. 1 Rational Rose Rhapsody Magic. Draw Borland Together http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Interoperability Between different applications Integrated Development Environments Visual Studio. NET Visual Studio 2005 Eclipse (Java) Requirements Management Telelogic DOORS Project Management Microsoft Project http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Team-Based Modelling Today’s software projects are increasingly challenging… Larger Systems involving hundreds, or even thousands of requirements Sparse Environments Distributed teams across continents Teamwork Importance Concurrent work and collaborative roles Communication Within and across all phases of SDLC http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Team-Based Modelling Ever-increasing demands to meet these challenges… Scalability A scalable model repository supporting multiple, concurrent users Complexity Management Model, version control, revision history, user management Teamwork Control Security control, settings to restrict user permission Communicate Model discussion for collaborative reviews http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Team-Based Modelling – Version Control Enterprise Architect supports versioncontrolled UML packages CVS, Subversion, SCC (VSS, Clear Case, etc…) Basic VC concepts apply Change history Check-in / check-out Help manage concurrent work http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Team-Based Modelling – Version Control Packages Checked-in (Locked) Packages Checked-out (Editable) http: //www. sparxsystems. com

Team-Based Modelling – Discussion Forum Enterprise Architect provides a dedicated model discussion forum capability Discuss model-specific concerns Share amongst other modellers Unobtrusive model “annotation” Share forums across models (remote DBMS) Communication http: //www. sparxsystems. com
