Suggestions and Requests / Better QA for database modelling, please!
« on: July 12, 2007, 05:25:40 pm »
Fist of all, let me say that Enterprise Architect is a great product overall. However, whenever I use it, especially while using database modelling and DDL generation I run into bugs - lots of bugs. I think I can safely say that I've found at least one bug for every full day (8 hours) that I've used EA. This wasn't in beta releases, either. That's far too many bugs for a customer to find.
EA support is very good about responding to bug reports and fixing the bugs, but I believe you really need to improve your own testing to find more of these bugs yourselves. Also, there's no testing like eating your own dog food. I'm positive that if the developers of EA actually used it to model a real, production database they would find many of the issues that I've found.
