Third Party Extensions for Enterprise Architect

AMUSE

Detecting issues early in the project lifecycle can save a lot of time and money. With AMUSE you can validate your Enterprise Architect UML Model to correct errors in your business workflow or application logic before your software engineers write a single line of code. You also can reuse the source code generated by AMUSE for your applications (C# supported in the standard package).

With AMUSE you can create models on any level of abstraction and initiate testing in the very early project stages. By integrating mock-objects, existing applications and external hardware, even highly complex behaviors can be validated.

ARCSeeker

ARCSeeker supports the reuse of Software Assets, particularly those created using Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect.

Software Assets include artifacts such as Software Architecture design documents or Source Files. Using ARCSeeker, you can create 'Components' from Enterprise Architect’s UML models and various related files. Components may specify additional information and documentation in Microsoft Word and Excel formats. These components can be easily identified and reused by your team members.
By storing your existing information with ARCSeeker, you can find and reuse your information effectively and efficiently.

Enterprise Architect Gears Bridge

BigLever Software’s Enterprise Architect/Gears Bridge™ enables engineering organizations to utilize Enterprise Architect MDD models as configurable shared assets within their Gears production lines, and Gears PLE constructs as first-class systems and software engineering mechanisms for managing product line diversity in Enterprise Architect MDD models.

More specifically, the Bridge allows users to:

• Use PLE mechanisms to manage the diversity for a full product line in a single, consolidated MDD model, as a highly scalable alternative to cloned copies or one-size-fits-all UML and SysML models.
• Automatically configure Enterprise Architect models for different products by making feature choices in a Gears feature profile.
• Convert Enterprise Architect model elements into Gears variation points to encapsulate the PLE diversity for that model element, without extending or complicating UML and SysML models.
• Use one or more Enterprise Architect models – either packages or projects – in a larger collection of shared assets across the full engineering lifecycle for a product line portfolio.
• Perform integrated PLE operations – such as product configuration, variation point editing and variation impact analysis – directly from Enterprise Architect menus.

Cephas Consulting provides an Enterprise Architect extension for validating BPMN 2.0 models against the official OMG® specification. Validating business process models is important for ensuring their quality and consistency, and is a critical prerequisite for making them executable. This software is made available for free to any Cephas client (for details please refer to our web page).

Validation occurs at the diagram level, with warning and error messages listed in Enterprise Architect’s Output window. Clicking a message will select the corresponding element in the Project Browser, while double clicking will open its properties window to facilitate correcting the issue.
