Embedded Engineer

• ✓ Improved C code generation
• ✓ Efficient C++ code generation
• ✓ Debugging on the model level (UML)
• ✓ User code synchronization
• ✓ Requirements Tracing

LieberLieber Embedded Engineer for Enterprise Architect has been developed as part of the tool chain for the development of Embedded Systems, since only with an integrated solution can model-driven approaches in embedded software development be efficiently applied.

Embedded Engineer Version 2.0 offers improved code generation from ANSI-C code from UML structures, state machines and activity models, as well as – brand new – the generation of C++ source code. The automated code generation creates detailed documentation at the same time. Existing solutions must not be converted, since a clean integration of model-based and classic development exists. Compliance with norms is simplified, since only the Code Generator must be adapted. Since the source code is delivered at the same time, necessary adjustments are easily possible and no dependency on solutions providers is generated.

With the UML Debugger, included in Embedded Engineer, LieberLieber has solved a problem which has influenced several generations of code-generation tools. Whereby development has always taken place on the UML model level, debugging was then carried out in C or C ++. With the UML Debugger, debugging is now carried out directly on the model level, which represents a great step in the development of model-based development.

Inteca OpenAPI Plug-in for Enterprise Architect

One of the main elements of architecture that are managed are the models of services provided in the organisation. Components and services are designed in UML language in a uniform way, regardless of the target implementation method (e.g. REST or SOAP). The designer focuses on understanding the domain model and designing services in a way that will give the greatest benefit and convenience to consumers. Finished models are converted to executable specifications (WSDL, XSD, OpenAPI/Swagger) using Inteca Plug-ins. Then it can be tested in the API portal. This approach combines the features of modern, agile API design and implementation with elements of architectural governance required by large organisations, where there are a number of dependencies between many projects, components and suppliers. The key here is good dependency management and unified modelling method. OpenAPI Plugin allows to generate OpenAPI 2.0/Swaggerspecifications from UML model.

Portfolio Manager

Portfolio Manager™ (part of eaTeamWorks™) gives confidence and control to modelers who are running multiple projects in the same Enterprise Architect repository.

Portfolio Manager provides real-time visibility to programme and project teams and other stakeholders, preventing modelling clashes between projects. With Portfolio Manager you can avoid:

• Accidentally working with old versions of elements
• Building on elements that are about to be deleted or retired
• Several modelers overwriting or making contradictory changes to copies of the same elements
• Creating duplicate elements

Instead:

• Instant project impact assessments reveal shared elements being worked on by other projects and push notifications to impacted projects.
• Project and portfolio dependency views summarize element level impacts, giving project managers the information they need to coordinate changes, manage project scope and mitigate risks.
• Heatmaps show where model changes are proposed/planned. Heatmaps can be generated for portfolios or for a set of element types or stereotypes.
• Element roadmaps show the sequence of proposed and planned changes for individual elements and which projects are delivering them.
• Travel through time, with diagrams that show the status of the model at different points in the future due to all changes being made by all projects. Visualize and share architecture plateaus with stakeholders.

Portfolio Manager is compatible with all Agile, Waterfall and Hybrid development methodologies.

RepoDoc

RepoDoc is a smart document generator plugin for your Enterprise Architect repositories able to produce a variety of document formats. Professionals can benefit from plain text templates written in their favorite editor using their favorite markup language. RepoDoc takes a document template and a starting package as input. It outputs a plain text document together with repository artifacts specified in the template. It allows you to output a broad range of different plain text formats like CSV, XML or JSON, but also to post-process the results to produce HTML or an office document like DOCX.

Functionality and Benefits

RepoDoc uses plain text templates and an easy to learn Liquid template language. This has following benefits for all fellow architects trying to document or analyze the model the way they want it:

• Markup languages – use your favorite markup language like Markdown or AsciiDoc to prepare your template and convert the output to an HTML or DOCX with a single click.
• Conditional expressions – document only elements you need and when you need them. Write logical conditions based on name, type or number of child elements. No more empty sections or tables in the output document.
• Multiple iterations and starting points – iterate and document your repository items multiple times. Create requirements section first and then add a use case section. Everything aligned in a single document with a single template.
• Version control – plain text templates are ideal for GIT or other system to track changes in your templates easily.
• Output redirection – output images or artifacts to individual files. Export data in different formats to multiple files or perform relationship or cost analysis. No scripting, just use your templates.
