Release Date: June 10, 2008
Most of the software projects involve multiple development phases. Developers often like to touch up their requirements specification iteratively, while keep track of the linkages among diagrams between the development phases. Unfortunately, there's no easy mechanism to achieve these. With the introduction of Diagram Transitor, now developer can transcribe all the shapes and diagram elements from one diagram to another in one simple step. More importantly, all linkages among diagrams will be formed automatically for future reference, fully realized the true spirit of traceability advocated in UML 2 standard.
Rational Software Architect (RSA) is a modeling and development environment for architectural design for C++, Java applications and web services using UML. In order to inherit the work from RSA, we now support importing of RSA project file for allowing the further modeling to be done on the imported file by using Agilian.
Have you ever thought about copying partial diagram contents of a large scale diagram from one software project to another for reuse and comparisons? Now you will be able to copy model elements as XML for later reuse in one simple step, further enhancing the interoperability and reusability of Agilian.
Event-Driven Process Chain (EPC) Diagram is a widely used diagram which has been newly incorporated in the feature-rich Visual Paradigm Suite 3.3. EPC is the often used by process designers to illustrate the control of lower-level structure of a business process as a chain of events and functions with simplicity and easy-to understand notations.
Process Overview Diagram helps to draw a simple picture of processes in approaching a business goal. It is rather in an upper level of analyzing and understanding a business process. Process Overview Diagram has now been incorporated as one of the business process modeling diagrams in Visual Paradigm products.
An Organization Chart is a diagram showing the structure of an organization, relationships and relative ranks in its part and jobs. It's very useful in understanding the relationships between departments or a group in a company. It's now being incorporated in Visual Paradigm products for business modeling.
In a Mind Mapping Diagram, ideas could be stretched out across and becoming very untidy, difficult in tracing nodes and searching for ideas due to the unorganized nodes all over the place. Now no need to suffer from the painful and time consuming of re-arranging the idea nodes manually anymore! Don't wait, try this handy feature and experience our smart diagram layout in a breeze.
Business Process Diagram (BPD) always contains Data Objects in different states. We enhanced the BPD to allow setting states for the Data Object models for showing the change of their state in business work flow modeling.
In Sequence Diagram, the duration message representing the time passage and is especially useful when modeling a real-time system. Now you are able to add time constraint on duration messages for specifying the time interval.
Further enhanced the usability of the Mind Mapping Diagram, now you can simply switch the source nodes by drag-and-drop. Also, upon modeling, the node texts are always towards the central idea node, which results a better visual layout of the idea development.
Undo and Redo are handy ways to cancel or restore the actions we've done in the project, but it may not be reliable to soly rely on our own memories of the actions done. Therefore, we enhance the tools to have the actions name shown in the Undo and Redo options.
A report generated by the Report Engine maybe very long causing by the repeatitve model information due to the multiple model views. New option for report publishing is provide to eliminate these duplicated information. More options are also provided for enhancing the control of how the Rich Text Format (RTF) contents to be represented in the reports.
