Product Manager Utility "9"-use case design STARUML

Last said a use case design rationalrose, but still because of the following problems many products friends can not install, a need to crack, two, need to install the Chinese version, three hundreds of m file download transmission have problems, so endure the bandwidth passed a few friends are completely disappointed. But this time I recommend the use case design tool STARUML.

STARUML Benefits: Open source, small size is only 25M, the function is also super powerful, so do the product of your hard drive must not be less oh, the following cited some of the content of Baidu Encyclopedia to use case software STARUML to do a supplement.

STARUML is an open source UML development tool, is led by the Korean company developed products, can be directly to the STARUML website download.

STARUML has the following many characteristics.

1 can draw 9 UML diagrams: Use case diagram, class diagram, sequence diagram, state diagram, activity diagram, Communication diagram, module diagram, deployment diagram and composite structure diagram. Completely free: STARUML is a set of open source software, not only free free download, even the code is free to open.

More than 2 format image files: Can be exported jpg, JPEG, BMP, EMF and WMF formats such as image files.

3 Syntax test: STARUML adheres to the syntax rules of UML and does not support actions that violate syntax.

4 positive and negative to the project: STARUML can generate Java, C + +, C # code according to the content of class diagram, also can read Java, C + +, C # code reverse generation class diagram. Reverse engineering has two main uses, one is the old source code inversion into the diagram, you can build a UML model to continue adding new designs, and another purpose is to parse the source code, you can use the inverted class diagram to understand that no longer need to see line after line, which will save a lot of time and effort.

5 supports XMI:STARUML to accept XMI 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 import exports. XMI is an xml-based Interchange format for exchanging UML models generated by different development tools.

6 Import Rose File: StarUML can read the files generated by rational rose, allowing the original Rose's users to switch to free STARUML. In the early days, Rational Rose was the most market-share UML development tool and also a fairly expensive tool. Because rational Rose is famous, it was later let IBM buy it.

7 Support mode: Supports 23 Gof modes (pattern) and 3 EJB modes. The GOF model is a book by 4 people, such as Erich Gamma, who co-authored the patterns:elements of reusable object-oriented software, which lists 23 software patterns that can solve specific problems with software design. STARUML also supports 3 common EJB schemas, ENTITYEJB, MESSAGEDRIVENEJB, and SESSIONEJB, respectively.

STARUML also combines the functions of pattern and automatic generation of code to facilitate the implementation of the design. Download Address: http://xiazai.zol.com.cn/detail/38/372752.shtml
