There are also supposed to be "reverse engineering" facilities...

in this case maybe the tool may be "reverse engineering" from the language source code level as opposed to the object code level. Yes, it is. I hesitate to try out this tool on an evaluation basis due to the learning time required before being able to evaluate in a robust way. Yes, that is always the trouble with doing a thorough evaluation of a non-trivial tool! These guys did seem quite accomodating in extending the trial period, though. And I did have the advantage of the prior face-to-face chat & demo at the show. Might be worth checking if they have an agent/distributor/whatever near you? almost every embedded system firmware design I do has at least one and sometimes more than a half dozen state machines in it. likewise! I do have to say that after reading the product web site that you linked for this Enterprise Architect that a really good use for this tool would be for documenting state machines in certain medical products. Not medical, but I have used it in making client documentation. a tagged requirements tracking system I designed into a WORD document format using VBA embedded into the DOC file. I once worked with someone who'd done that kind of thing. It was a great idea! |
