EventStudio Sequence Diagram Designer
-
Version
2.5
Sequence diagrams are a very effective way of modeling
an object oriented system. Unfortunately, most UML
based modeling tools only offer primitive support for
sequence diagrams. EventStudio provides advanced
constructs for sequence diagram based object modeling.
EventStudio supports generation of message sequence
charts (MSCs) and call flow diagrams used in telecom
and embedded system development. Process workflow
generation is supported for business process re-
engineering applications.
When modeling with EventStudio, developers describe
the interactions in the system in terms of a simple
declarative modeling language. EventStudio then
analyzes the model for design errors, inconsistent
operations, resource leaks and invalid timer
operations. Once the design issues have been
addressed, EventStudio automatically generates
sequence diagrams and collaboration diagrams.
EventStudio allows the developers to explore a large
number of success and failure scenarios without the
overhead of individually documenting each scenario.
The developers define a base scenario and then define
other scenarios by just specifying the differences
with the base scenario. EventStudio manages the
scenario definitions and generates the documents by
merging the base scenario with the specified
differences for each scenario.
EventStudio automatically handles diagram layout,
formatting, scaling and page breaks for sequence
diagrams and collaboration diagrams generated in the
Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word Picture (EMF) formats.
This allows the developers to focus on system
architecture and design, without getting bogged down
by document layout issues.
EventStudio has been designed to handle diagram
generation for systems with a large number of
interacting objects. For greater modularity, objects
in the system can be classified into groups and sub-
groups. This classification is used to generate
diagrams that focus on a particular aspect of the
system.
