Questions on EA

[softair]

Hello!

I got few questions on EA, I wish someone can answer me asap.  Thanks!
1) What is the EA mainly used for, e.g. for software development modeling?
2) I am planning to develop a new product, e.g. Teaching Platform, I would like to plan the functions into individual class.  So I would like to know if EA can help me to design and model the function classes or not?
3) We are mainly using C++ and C# to develop, so the modeled class can generated the coding as the standard format or not?
4) Any samples for software classes modeling provided in EA?

Please give me reply asap.  Thanks!

EA is a modelling tool, but also includes code-generation features, project life cycle management tools etc.

You can model your classes, along with their properties, methods and relationships and then use EA to generate the code shell for you.  You can also use EA to read existing code into a model.

Yes, it does come with a pretty extensive example model.  Have a look at the demo, it's all in there.

G'day,

EA, and UML in general, are great for modeling any kind of system, whether that be computer system, business system, or other.

For example, you could model the following aspects of a business:
- business processes;
- rules, constraints;
- responsibilities;
- requirements;
- business roles;
etc. etc.
