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.

(EA)²

(EA)² is an add-in product that extends and hones Enterprise Architect for modeling Enterprise Architecture. It includes a framework and supporting tools for providing architectural guidance and conformance and turns the model repository into a knowledge base used for Architecture Driven Planning.

Modeling your Enterprise Architecture
(EA)² provides toolbox elements for modeling each architectural view, i.e Business, Application, Data, and Infrastructure, as well as for linking across views for a vertical slice of the architecture. Architectural conformance is ensured by prescribed diagram types and quick links that provide the allowable interactions among the elements, both horizontally and vertically.

Communicating the Architecture to all Stakeholders
Designs created for each architectural view speak to constituent stakeholders in their own terms. Enterprise architects can review vertical slices for conformance to architectural directions.

Performing Architecture Based Planning
(EA)² provides roadmaps for moving from current to future states. It provides SQL views that leverage the underlying meta-model, making it easy to design comprehensive reports showing the relationships among the architectural assets and how they relate to the roadmaps.

Enterprise Analyst

Enterprise Analyst is an add-in for Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect that enables the simulation of object instances of class models. The Enterprise Analyst add-in is built to support next-generation software development paradigms that include MDA, Executable UML and Domain Driven Design.

Using Enterprise Analyst, software analysts, architects and developers can validate, simulate and document future system domain models. The tool allows them to concentrate on the core of the system domain logic and is able to test the system during the analysis phase.

Some of the important benefits of applying formal analysis are:

• Much lower defect rate in the later phases (project time and cost decrease)
• Easier understanding and specification of the user requirements (software quality increases)
• Platform independent models as formal as the source code (future system maintenance, extension or technology update much easier)
• System documentation validated and generated (documentation quality increases)

Enterprise Analyst extends Enterprise Architect's built-in model validation capabilities by:

• Actively guiding the developer towards correcting syntax errors when validating model syntax
• Simulating and testing model semantics and helping the developer to achieve the needed functionality
• Checking model specifications for completeness and producing convenient documentation

Enterprise Analyst is available in both English and Spanish.
