- We are looking for OOA/OOD tools for a large scale project involving C++ on
- the Microsoft Windows, and eventually Windows/NT, platforms. We are currently
- evaluating Paradigm Plus, the not-yet-released OMTool for Windows, and Atriom.
- The notation we chose is based on "Object-Oriented Modeling and Design," by
- James Rumbaugh, et al. The following are our criteria for evaluating the tool:
-
- o Support Object Diagrams, Dynamic Diagrams, and Functional Diagrams
- o ease of drawing and editing diagrams
- o complete support of the methodology
- o object repository
- o ease of declaring and editing classes, attributes, operations
- o workgroup support
- o rule or consistency checking
- o interconnection between objects and diagrams
- o support for large scale projects
- o code generation capability
- o runs on Microsoft Windows, with at least plans for Windows/NT version
-
- We would appreciate hearing any information and/or experience people have had
- regarding these OOA/OOD tools, or others we are not yet aware of. More weight
- will be given toward tools that are already released, although we will not
- totally rule out tools that are soon to be on the market. Your help will be
- greatly appreciated. Thanks.
-
- NOTE: Although we have tested various tools supporting the Booch notation, we
- have found it to be less expressive and inappropriate to our needs. Please
- send comments only about tools supporing Rumbaugh notation. Thanks.
