Sparx’s Mission

Create a new paradigm for modeling and development tools by setting a price point that enables all members of the project team to benefit from their use.

Benefits include dramatic improvements in

� Documentation

� Traceability

� Collaboration

� Reusability

� Productivity

� Quality

� ROI

Introduction to UML 2.1

� Unified Modeling Language (UML)

� A specification of the Object Management Group (OMG)

� Helps to specify, visualize & document models of complex software systems

� Major advantages of UML 2.1 over UML 1.x

� The expansion of the notation to satisfy a wider set of modeling requirements

� Improved extensibility support, to extend UML for domain-specific modeling using UML Profiles & Stereotypes

� Better alignment with other standards in the OMG’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative

UML 2.1 Diagram Types� UML defines 13 types of diagrams, divided into two categories: six

represent static application structure and seven represent different aspects of dynamic behavior.

� Structural• Class diagram

• Object diagram

• Component diagram

• Composite Structure diagram

• Deployment diagram

• Package diagram

� Behavioral• Use Case diagram

• State Machine diagram

• Activity diagram

• Interaction diagrams– Sequence diagram

– Interaction Overview diagram

– Communication diagram

– Timing diagram

� Inbuilt requirements management with full traceability to the realization elements (includes a powerful relationship matrix feature)

Enterprise Architect 6.5 Features (2)

� Export & import of packages as XMI files for purposes such as model backup, transfer between projects or version control

� Creation of model baselines (at the package branch level) as compressed XMI files inside the EA repository

� Comparison of the structural aspects of models (at the package level) against stored XMI representations

� Powerful WYSIWYG template based report generator in RTF format

� HTML report generator

� Version control via links to external Configuration Management systems (including: SubVersion, CVS, …)

� XMI support for versions 1.X and 2.1Support for managing tests at all levels (unit, integration, system and acceptance)

Enterprise Architect 6.5 Features (3)

� Built-in model-to-model (MDA) transformations

� Customizable transformation templates for C#, Java, EJB Entity, EJB Session, DDL and XSD

Enterprise Architect 6.5 Features (5)

� Every aspect of the UML model—including graphical data—is persisted in an industry-standard database in one of the following formats

� Native .EAP file (Microsoft Access/JET)

� RDBMS repository• SQL Server / MSDE

• MySQL

• Oracle

• PostgreSQL

• Adaptive Server Anywhere

� Provides scalability from a single user all the way up to very large teams

� Permits common SQL reporting tools such as Crystal Reports to be used to manipulate and query the UML model, both from within EA and externally

� Rich Automation Interface for writing Addins

� Doors Integration

� Polarion Integration via Hyperlinks (http:// and ealink://)

� And a lot of 3rd party tools

Integrating UML 2.1 into the

Visual Studio 2005 and VSTS environment

- Objectives -

� Provide the UML Analyst/Designer/Architect with the tools to build detailed and precise UML 2.1 models

� Give the Visual Studio developer focused access to UML model content

� Offer the development team strong traceability features, from requirements to model, to code, to tests and finally to deployed artifacts

� Increase productivity by linking UML models to Domain Specific Language (DSL) tools and artifacts

Teaming up the UML Architect with the .NET

Developer

� Browse the EA model inside the Visual Studio environment� The UML model is included as a Solution item within VS 2005.

Two additional tool views are made available• The UML Model window presents a Project View to navigate

through the EA model in order to view its entire content

• The UML Property window provides a real-time view of model diagrams and elements. Drill down into the model directly from the diagram elements

� Invoke EA features from within Visual Studio� Via the context menu of the class browser in VS the user can

• Select the “Open and Edit in EA” option to open EA with the class visible

• Update the properties of UML elements directly!

• Open a selected diagram inside EA

• Generate documentation, import libraries, etc.

Teaming up the UML Architect with the .Net

Developer

� Navigate from UML artifacts to related VS elements

� Navigate from a UML class in the UML Project View window to the source code item in the Solution Explorer or Class View

� Invoke the DSL Class Diagram from a UML class context

� The Class Diagram is created automatically if it does not already exist. The corresponding VS class is highlighted in the Diagram

� Automatically add the VS class to the Diagram if not present

� Invoke the DSL Application Diagram from a UML element context

� The Application Diagram is created automatically if it does not already exist

� The corresponding VS element is highlighted in the Diagram

Teaming up the UML Architect with the .Net

Developer

� EA user visualizes VSTS Work Items

� Query and view in EA requirements, tasks, and other artifacts

created as work items in VSTS, including any complex

dependencies between work items

� EA user leverages VSTS CM system

� Check-in or check-out files within EA using the VSTS Configuration Management system

EA Integration with Visual Studio

Team System - Roadmap

� VSTS user displays EA requirements

� Query and view in VSTS work items created in EA as requirements

� EA pre-populates a VS Application Diagram (AD) from a UML deployment diagram

� EA renders VSTS test results on a UML diagram

� EA renders on a diagram test coverage data from the results of the test suites executed in VSTS

� EA shows VSTS test case dependencies

� EA visualizes the VSTS test cases and their dependencies on a UML diagram
