Excel Software is shipping MacA&D OSX 2.2 for system andsoftware modeling, requirement management, code generation, reengineering andproject reports. This major release supports PHP design and code generation plusenhanced requirement management, diagram generation and editing. The new GlobalSearch dialog scans thousands of text files and folders in seconds for matching textor wildcard patterns.
PHP is a modern scripting language for procedural and object-oriented programming. It drives popular web sites that often grow into large-scale development projects. MacA&D adds PHP code generation from class diagrams and structure charts. Often PHPprograms provide the glue between web pages and a database engine. Data models canbe drawn in MacA&D to design a database and generate the SQL schema.
Code generation capabilities in MacA&D have been enhanced for other languagesincluding C, Pascal, Fortran, Basic, C++, Objective-C, Java, Delphi and SQL. Newcustomization options give the developer control over content and format ofgenerated code, how code files are named and where they are stored. One click onthe Generate Code button creates code from selected objects on a class or structuremodel.
Requirement entries are defined as structured information in a RequirementDefinition dialog controlled by a template with user-defined field and valuechoices. MacA&D 2.2 enables template changes to be applied across existing entries. Requirement entries can be checked for missing or inconsistent data. Entries canbe linked to any kind of target document, diagram or specific diagram objects toprovide two-way traceability. New capabilities simplify linking and navigatingbetween many requirement entries and targets. The enhanced Requirement Matrixwindow presents data through user-defined views and queries.
Diagram editors for process, state, structure, class, data, object and task modelshave been enhanced with a new geometric shape tool, new caption properties, gridlines, scroll wheel support and an object size synchronization dialog. The newShape Properties dialog supports 48 geometric shapes, border color, fill color,shadows and line thickness. Text can be added and positioned within each shape.
Designers control class members (attributes, operations, properties and events) anddetails (access, data type and arguments) displayed on class diagrams with checkboxoptions and presentation rules. To enhance productivity, detail dialogs now have Upand Down buttons to navigate between class members.
MacA&D is a Universal Binary application for Intel or PPC based Macintosh computers. The Standard edition is $495, Desktop edition is $1195 and Developer edition is$1995. See www.excelsoftware.com for information.
