Feature Overview

Model Driven Code Engineering

• Source code generation and reverse engineering for many popular languages, including C++, C#, Java, Delphi, VB.Net, Visual Basic, ActionScript, Python and PHP
• A built in 'syntax highlighting' source code editor
• Code generation templates, which enable you to customize the generated source code to your company specifications

Transformations for Rapid Development

• Advanced Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformations using transformation templates
• Built-in transformations for DDL, C#, Java, EJB and XSD
• One Platform Independent Model can be used to generate and synchronize multiple Platform Specific Models, providing a significant productivity boost
• XSL Transform diagram, toolbox, editor and debugger.

Visual Execution Analysis / Debugging, Verification and Visualization

• Execute build, test, debug, run and deploy scripts
• Integrate UML development and modeling with source development and compilation
• Generate NUnit and JUnit test Classes from source Classes using MDA Transformations
• Integrate the test process directly into the Enterprise Architect IDE
• Debug .NET, Mono, Java and Microsoft Native (C, C++ and Visual Basic) applications
• Design and execute Test suites based on Programming by Contract principles
• XSL Stylesheet debugging

Database Modeling

Enterprise Architect enables you to:

• Reverse engineer from many popular DBMSs, including SQL Server, My SQL, Access, PostgreSQL and Oracle
• Model database tables, columns, keys, foreign keys and complex relationships using UML and an inbuilt data modeling profile
• Forward generate DDL scripts to create target database structures

XML Technology Engineering

Enterprise Architect enables you to rapidly model, forward engineer and reverse engineer two key W3C XML technologies:

• XML Schema (XSD)
• Web Service Definition Language (WSDL)

XSD and WSDL support is critical for the development of a complete Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and the coupling of UML 2.5 and XML provides the natural mechanism for implementing XML-based SOA artifacts within an organization.
