MagicDraw - The Truth is in The Models

Benefits for the Programmer

no-magic-inc 06 Language Specific UML Syntax Check Before the Code Generation. Don't be afraid if you don't know UML 2.5 extremely well - only few people do. Every time you miss something in class diagrams, MagicDraw will check the correctness of the UML model and prompt you for changes, before any code gets generated.

Pattern Generator. Are you bored of the adding the classes needed for the Design Patterns, RMI or EJB by hands? Are you bored of the defining all methods that are defined in the interfaces your classes are realizing? Maybe you feel lazy to add tedious code of setters and getters? MagicDraw may do this for you. From version 6.0 all patterns are extendable. You can write your own patters with Java or JPython also.
Code Generation. You've constructed a detailed system design. Now it's time to begin coding. With MagicDraw's support of Java, C#, C++, and CORBA IDL, generating code frameworks becomes an efficient, streamlined process. And since MagicDraw also enables script creation for all major databases, database structure design has never been so easy.
JavaDoc and other Custom Comments. MagicDraw can insert JavaDoc tags into method and attribute header comments during the source code generation. Programmer may also choose one of the four available comment styles and enter custom file header that is placed in the beginning of every source code file.
Code Engineering Sets. You may group classes together with their components into collections called "code engineering sets". The code engineering set helps you to keep your classes and source code synchronized. You may reverse engineer or generate the code for a whole set at once. Also you may specify different properties for each code engineering set: location of the source code files and code generation properties.
Round-trip Engineering. Besides the source code generation and reverse engineering, MagicDraw allows parallel changes to the both source code and UML model. With the help of round-trip engineering technique, MagicDraw synchronizes those changes - new methods and attributes in the source code are added to the UML model and new items in the UML to the source code.
No Tool Specific Comments. Handful of the modeling tools in the marketplace generates source code from the UML 2.5 model. The problem is that in most cases the code contains various tool specific comments that cannot be changed nor deleted. MagicDraw is not the case. Not any single character is inserted for the code generation synchronization. MagicDraw performs source code reverse engineering before the generation, in order to synchronize changes in the source code with the changes in the UML 2.5 model.
Integration with leading Java IDEs. With a few simple clicks, create an integrated development environment by meshing MagicDraw with Eclipse, IBM WSAD and RAD, Borland JBuilder, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, Sun Java Studio. Now you can use your favorite IDE for coding and MagicDraw for modeling. And don't worry about synchronization - leave that to us!

Benefits for the Analyst and the Designer

Full support for UML 2.5, including class, use case, communication, sequence, state, activity, implementation, package, component, composite structure, deployment diagrams, and UML metamodel.
MagicDraw makes it easy to model all aspects of your system: requirements, static structure, deployment structure, activities, states, detailed action sequences, and much more.
Support of Extendable UML 2.5. If analyst or designer decides that he or she needs some new model element (for instance specific class type for GUI components) he or she may extend UML by adding its own stereotypes, constraints, tagged values and even new appearance of the model element in the diagram (gif images can be attached to the specific stereotypes for a different display). Different fill colors and fonts may be used for this purpose as well. Custom appearance for diagram elements can be defined using SVG or bitmap images. MagicDraw also comes with RUP and WAE icons.
Ability to Associate UML Diagram with a Specific Package or Use Case. Whenever you are identifying use cases it is very convenient to associate a use case with an activity, sequence or some other diagram for a reference. MagicDraw lets you to associate any kind of diagram with a use case, package, and subsystem - you may open it by simple double-click.
Source Code Reverse Engineering. If you have lots of unknown source code and want to get an idea what's in there, the source code reverse engineering is exactly what you need. You may get an UML model and then generate class diagram from Java, EJB, Java bytecode, C#, CIL (MSIL), C++ or CORBA IDL source code, it will take just a few minutes.
Model Analysis Facilities. Consider you do have a huge OO model with lots of dependencies, large class hierarchies and would like to change method B in a class A. How do you know what elements of the model will be influenced? MagicDraw is here to help you! You may select any model element and find out all other elements (classes, packages, etc.) that depends on it, or you may go in the opposite direction - select an element and ask for a list of model elements on which your selected element is dependent on. The dependency criteria also can be customized, it may be any combination of the following: association, inheritance, or realization relationship, class used as attribute type or operation parameter.
MagicDraw can find out all subclasses of the selected class and generate a new class diagram that shows the whole class hierarchy of derived classes.
MagicDraw generates a package dependency diagram. A list of packages is analyzed upon dependencies between contained classes.

Benefits for the Quality Assurance Engineer

Test Case Modeling. Quality assurance engineer usually uses automated testing tools. Nevertheless he or she needs to define a strategy for structural and functional tests. Use case diagram is a tool for the test modeling. JUnit pattern will create a framework for test classes.

Benefits for the Technical Writer

Eliminates tedious document preparation with automatic report generation. Use MagicDraw's automatic report generation engine to quickly produce comprehensive, professional requirements, software design documentation, and other types of reports in HTML, PDF, and RTF formats. MagicDraw generates standard artifacts that match your software development process. With Jython you can easily customize reports to fit your internal standards.
Image Generation. If you are writing a use case specification, technical design description or any other document that needs to be enriched by UML diagrams you don't need to complicate your life doing screen shots and pasting them in Microsoft Word or any other editor. MagicDraw has built-in facilities for generating bitmap JPEG and PNG, and scalable EPS, SVG, WMF and EMF images. JPEG and EMF can be pasted directly into the Microsoft Windows clipboard for a faster access from the Microsoft Windows applications.
Different Fonts and Colors. MagicDraw lets you to customize the appearance of the model element. You can change the font, its size and color as well as the pen and fill colors of the model element displayed on the diagram. You can have few predefined styles you can apply for one or more model elements.

Benefits for the Project Manager

Faster Team Collaboration. Every developer may instantly obtain the newest version of the model; everybody is allowed to work in parallel on its own part. No need to merge separate XMI files by hand.
Simpler Configuration Management. All designs are stored in a single place, there are no more files that are scattered around in the network; changes can be introduced orderly and without conflicts.
Controlled Access to Your Artifacts. Different people in the project may have different access levels to the projects stored in the teamwork server repository.
Remote Access. No matter where you are, if you are connected to the Internet you may work with the model that is stored in the repository. A project manager may provide read only or full access to the repository for the overseas developers, customers, subcontractors, management, and other interested parties.
Better Software Documentation. Developers can produce instant screenshot of the current code using reverse engineering of Java, Java Bytecode, C#, .NET (CIL), C++, CORBA IDL, or DDL (for the structure of DB).

Benefits for the Corporative Executive

Full Featured CASE Tool at Affordable Price. Flexible pricing schema, volume discounts. Biggest bang per buck - wise alternative. Upgrade to a new version is just a fraction of the cost for existing customers.
Maintainability. New versions and bug fixes are published every quarter and are available for a fixed cost maintenance contract.
Price Scalability. Two kinds of client editions are available. Floating licenses lets you to save significantly if you have multiple developers that you need to use MagicDraw for a short periods of time. The teamwork server price is variable and depends on the number of users you need to work with the repository simultaneously.
Portability. No matter what hardware and OS your developers have, it is very likely that MagicDraw can run on it. Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X - to name a few.
Lower Software Production Cost and Increased Quality. Team communication is better when members discuss their designs using UML diagrams. After all, "A picture is worth a thousand words." No Magic offers exciting new software development tools indispensable for large projects using object-oriented languages.
Shorter Software Development Lifecycle. MagicDraw's CASE feature saves you time and resources by automating the otherwise manual work of writing code framework. Moreover, your software developers can go back and forth from model to code using round-trip engineering features - your team won't incur the burden of dramatic code changes.

MagicDraw Enterprise

nomagic-magicdraw-box sm MagicDraw Enterprise represents the top of the line of the MagicDraw family of products and represents the ultimate solution for all your modeling needs. MagicDraw Enterprise combines all of the functionality of the MagicDraw Personal and MagicDraw Standard, and all three versions of the MagicDraw Professional, into a comprehensive state-of-the-art UML 2.5 modelling solution.

MagicDraw Enterprise includes a free Cameo Data Modeler plugin. It is a must when working with multiple development technologies and databases. A vast selection of databases flavors with SQL database modeling/diagramming and DDL scrip generation/reverse features allows expanding modeling possibilities. In addition, the Cameo Data Modeler plugin provides code engineering and diagramming functionality in CORBA IDL, WSDL and XML schema. For working with DB structures, MagicDraw Enterprise not only provides code engineering and diagramming but also provides structure retrieval via JDBC, thus allowing the easy addition of a new database structure to the model and updating of the model.

MagicDraw Enterprise allows model transformations both ways: from Platform Independent Model (PIM) to Platform Specific Model (PSM) and from PSM to PIM. With model transformations, you can produce many specific models, such as XML Schema, DDL, or your customized specific model from a generic one.

Only MagicDraw Enterprise provides full access to the new generation WebPortal report: an interactive web view of your model.

The MagicDraw family of award-winning products represents the most powerful and best value in the UML modeling industry today.

MagicDraw Architect

nomagic-magicdraw-box sm MagicDraw Architect is specially packaged to provide the optimal price and technical features necessary for architects that do not need the full capabilities of MagicDraw Enterprise.

This edition combines the basic functionality of MagicDraw Standard with advanced modeling and analysis features from MagicDraw Enterprise. Architects have less need for IDE integrations, or Java and C++ code engineering, so these capabilities are not included.

With the first in industry visual model differencing feature, the MagicDraw Architect provides the unique capability to see the changes between two different versions of a model.

Only MagicDraw Architect and higher editions provides access to Metrics and Metrics Tables. This metrics calculating approach allows creating metric suites, calculating metrics according to given parameters, saving the results in table and recalculating your metrics with new parameters without losing old results.

Starting with MagicDraw Architect edition the validation feature is included. Validation checks the model for correctness and completeness, displays errors in the model and suggests solutions. Active validation allows this functionality instantly. Multicoloured highlighting of warnings and errors on diagrams and matrixes brings any issue to attention. Write your own validation rules using OCL, JavaScript, Jython, Jruby, Groovy or BeanShell.
