Smart Development Environment Enterprise Edition for Visual Studio (SDE-VS EE) provides modeling platform which covers full software development lifecycle from business process modeling to requirement capturing, system analysis, system design, code generation, database generation and documentation generation. SDE-VS is embedded in Visual Studio. Developer can perform design work and implementation in a single, unified environment.
Business process modeling
SDE-VS EE fully supports the latest version of BPMN standard. Business analysts can visualize as-is and to-be processes using business process diagrams. The Animacian feature animates business process to let business users watch the workflow in action. System analyst can develop use case diagrams base on to-be business process diagram, and maintain traceability between business process and use case model, with them linked automatically.
Use Case modeling
SDE-VS EE provides various use case modeling toolsets for analyst to identify, document and manage users' goal. UML use case diagram can be used to visualize actors, use cases and their relationships. Use case details editor lets analyst to document use case description, flow of events, pre and post condition. Both use case diagram and use case details editor information are grouped when generating use case documentation.
System analysis and design
SDE-VS EE fully supports UML 2.2 specification. Use case can be elaborated by sequence diagram or activity diagram. Structural layer of the system can be designed and documented in class diagram, composite structure diagram and object diagram. Sequence diagram, communication diagram, state diagram and activity diagram are designed for behavioral modeling. System deployment architecture can be documented by component and deployment diagrams.
Visual Paradigm believes that quality software is not just about feature rich but easy to use. All Visual Paradigm products are designing and developing with usability in mind. SDE-VS EE is not just focusing on how many diagrams you can draw but how easy you can create, modify and layout these diagrams. There are various diagramming toolsets like resource-centric interface, sweeper, magnet, pinnable connector and more, which helps increase the efficiency of system analysis and design significantly.
Code and database generation
SDE-VS EE supports generating and reversing 10+ programming languages. SDE-VS EE supports C#, VB.NET and C++.NET round-trip engineering. SDE-VS EE supports MDA by generating platform independent model, class diagram and ERD to platform specific model, such as Java, C# and PHP. Developer can draw class diagram, generate ERD by class diagram, generate code, generate database, generate mapping layer and then start writing business logic without worrying the mapping between databases and object model.
Documentation generation
SDE-VS EE generates documentation in MS Word 2007, PDF and HTML format. There are various options to control and customize the generated documentations. You may also develop your own documentation by using report writer[1].
Team collaboration
SDE-VS EE talks to VP Teamwork Server, Subversion, CVS and Perforce to provide a collaborative modeling platform. With the team collaboration features, team members can view and edit the same project, or even same diagram simultaneously. All changes will be stored in the above servers in revision basis.
Plug-in architecture
SDE-VS EE plug-in architecture provides an extendable platform for developers to add functions to SDE-VS EE. Developers can reference to the plug-in development guide to build their own plug-in to read, update, retrieve and delete diagrams and model elements.
Interoperability
SDE-VS EE can import/export to XML, XMI, MS Excel and various image formats. SDE-VS can import MS Visio drawing, Rational Rose project file, ERWin Data Modeler project files, Telelogic Modeler project files and System Architect business process diagram.
