Check out the complete range of case tools and features in detail.
EA helps you manage complexity with tools to track dependencies, support for very large models, version control with CVS or SCC
providers, baselining for point in time snapshots, compare (diff) utility to track changes to the model, intuitive and high performance
interface with "explorer like" project view.
EA provides powerful document generation and reporting tools with a full WYSIWYG template editor. Generate complex and detailed reports from EA with the information you need in the format your company or client demands.
EA helps you visualize your applications by supporting reverse engineering of a wide range of software development languages and database repository schema. Bring in complete frameworks from source code or Java .jar files - or even .Net binary assemblies! By importing frameworks and library code, you can maximize re-use and understanding of your existing investment.
EA supports advanced Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformations using easy to edit and develop transformation templates. With built in transformations for DDL, C#, Java, EJB and XSD, you can quickly develop complex solutions from simple "platform independent models" (PIM) that are target at "platform specific models" (PSM). One PIM can be used to generate and synchronize multiple PSM's - providing a significant productivity boost.
