Goal, Dictionary and Business Rule Analysis Scope Manager What are the goals of the business? What is the terminology used in the domain? Which business rules must be respected? What are the expected requirements? To help you formalize these key points, Scope Manager provides the techniques designed to define and model your business and the IT systems to support it. Scope Manager associates goal, dictionary, business rule and requirement management with UML modeling, providing seamless modeldriven support from goal definition right through to code production. With this approach, you can justify your models and situate your modeling activities, in order to guarantee complete, relevant and consistent models that match the expectations. Defining goals Whether strategic, company or business-related, goals are the building blocks on which an information system is built and developed. With a methodological approach based on the formulation of goals, you can determine the expected value, identify the system elements to which they are assigned (actor, organizational unit, business process) and define key indicators (KPI), balanced score cards and the means of measuring performance. Building the dictionary A well-developed dictionary clarifies domain terminology and drives model construction: models are justified by business notions and are named and documented in accordance with the business vision. Formalizing business rules Business rules sum up knowledge of the domain and the business constraints that must be respected by the system. Defined during the preliminary phases, these business rules are then transferred to the different parts of the model concerned. 5
Requirement Analysis Scope Manager With Scope Manager, associate goal, requirement and dictionary management with UML modeling and produce a specification that respects business rules Expressing requirements With Scope Manager, start from the requirements definition phase and continue seamlessly right through to the analysis and design models. Based on standards such as the OMG's SysML (System Modeling Language), Scope Manager supports the graphical modeling of requirements, their documentation generation and formalizes the model parts impacted by each requirement, as well as the test cases that will check that each requirement has been met and so on. Take advantage of a comprehensive modeling tool Supports requirement analysis, goal analysis, dictionary and business rule definition Unique repository for goals, requirements, business rules, dictionary and models: UML, BPMN, EA, SOA, SysML and other UML extensions Graphical modeling, dedicated editors, links with the models Dedicated spreadsheet editors for these scope elements Traceability with the model (dedicated traceability editor) Recovery of scope elements (goals, etc.) from MS-Word documents Model impact analysis for scope element modification Dedicated document generation: Glossary, Requirement analysis document, Vision document, Business Rules document Measurement of the model coverage ratio Model creation wizards from these scope elements Customization of the properties attached to scope elements 6
EA : Enterprise Architecture SOA Solution Enterprise Architecture (EA) enables companies to model their business, organization and processes. It helps formalize a global, sustainable information system architecture, resulting in greater agility, improved change management and maximized ROI. EA organizes the modeling of Enterprise Architecture components into "viewpoints" corresponding to the main concerns of an enterprise organization and of its information system: business semantic, business organization (process, organization), logical (logical architecture, SOA), business implementation (geographical distribution, hardware distribution, logical architecture distribution on hardware), technical (technological choices), software (architecture and implementation). Modeling the existing system helps us to understand the organization, dependency links and exchanged data flows. The (re)design of the information system can then be envisaged, in order to structure, reorganize and reach the identified target architecture. The combined support in a single tool of both enterprise architecture and BPMN modeling for the business owner and UML and BPMN modeling for the IT services, means that a single repository covering the entire scope of the enterprise can be formed. EA is a unique tool in the marketplace, guaranteeing overall consistency and traceability. It allows the construction and management of dialog between the business-owner, IT services, users and decisionmakers, by providing each participant with aspects dedicated to his own specific representations. Based on standards, it guarantees long term support and tool exchange capacities. 7
BPM : Business Process Modeling SOA Solution Model your business processes to formalize your company's know-how, identify its strengths and weaknesses and determine the areas to improve for performance and competitiveness. Modeler provides BPMN-standard process modeling, integrated with the UML2 standard and enterprise architecture models (EA). Business processes formalize the way in which the activities that generate a company's added value are conducted. These processes are often transversal to the different structures within the organization. They can involve several different types of actor and can be broken down into sub-processes. Process modeling helps identify the business' strengths, along with the improvements that will increase competitiveness and agility. With Modeler using BPMN, you can visualize processes with the required level of detail (process overview, detailed BPMN view) and define their dynamics (process orchestration). The combination of business process modeling (BPMN), enterprise architecture modeling (EA) and object modeling (UML) in a single tool means that links can be established between the different notions: for example, business objects, events, information flows, actors and organizational units can be taken from the UML or EA model and referenced from a BPMN process. UML integration also allows IT services process models to be used to derive UML models for information system evolutions: use cases, class diagrams and so on. 8
SOA : Service Oriented Architecture SOA Solution The logical architecture of an information system is the bridge between the business view and the information technology view. It defines the components of your SOA architecture independently of the technology used in the software architecture. It also defines the services, service components, exchange data, service orchestration and the overall logic of your application. Already successfully practiced in large-scale information system overhaul and development projects, using to model your Service Oriented Architecture alongside your business processes (BPM) and your enterprise architecture (EA) is a key factor in the success of your developments. With SOA, you produce the model of your business applications, identify services and organize them into service components and then translate business processes into service orchestration. SOA lets you assemble the services provided by different components to build composite SOA applications. With traceability managed and consistency permanently maintained between the preliminary business view (enterprise architecture) and the later technological view (software architecture), SOA logical architecture constitutes your information system's central repository. Beyond logical architecture modeling, you can model material and physical views with, thereby representing the distribution of services on your infrastructure. 9
Technical System Modeling SysML supports the SysML technical system modeling standard (System Modeling Language), as well as UML2 modeling features, consistency management and traceability management, making it a tool perfectly adapted to the domain. SysML is used to specify, analyze, design, check and validate complex technical systems and systems-of-systems. SysML lets you control system complexity, describe system requirements and technical constraints and manage various disciplines to construct a system (mechanical, electronic, software ), as well as enabling you to define components delegated to specialized teams and to manage the traceability of realization and assembly work. further strengthens its features and adapts the use of SysML to your specific needs through the following functionalities: complete coverage of SysML and UML2 editors dedicated to SysML diagrams traceability editor facilitating the improved management of traceability essential to SysML customizable documentation generation Model extension and transformation tooling (MDA) integrated requirements and dictionary management 10

Each modeling stage is made easier and many time-consuming tasks, such as creating occurrences of elements in different representations, are automated. wizards also run checks and provide help during model construction, as well as automatically managing scope and visibility. Build consistent models Beyond its semantic editors that guide you in the use of the UML language, permanently guarantees the consistency of your UML models through real-time model validation including more than 280 rules. 11
Analysis and Design with UML2 Modeler Through its integrated MDA technology, Modeler guarantees a high level of quality and productivity in the construction of your models. Easily produce your design models Through its native integration of MDA technology, can automatically transform your analysis model into a design model, taking into account design constraints and decisions. You can also benefit from the most tried-and-tested design strategies, by using off-the-shelf design patterns. Configure your modeling environment By simply selecting a set of MDA Components, modeler becomes dedicated to your context with a bespoke methodology support and generation capabilities. Take advantage of integrated traceability management Thanks to its powerful fast link graphical editor, 's traceability management provides you with complete control of your models throughout the modeling and development phases. This traceability makes it easy to analyze the impact of any changes that are made to the model, whatever the phase, modeling or requirements specification. The existence of each model element can thus be justified and model coverage checked through traceability links. Use the model Diff/Merge feature provides a powerful model Diff/Merge functionality to view differences, execute a partial or complete model merge and integrate model branches into version management. 12
Teamwork Teamwork Teamwork enables collaborative and multi-user environments, with no constraints on team or project size. Model components define communication and publication rules between teams and their shared workspaces. uses a central multi-user repository where the model is shared by all the members of a team. This repository guarantees permanent model consistency. Concurrent modeling is managed by a locking mechanism whose fine granularity helps optimize productivity. features strong integrations with numerous configuration and version management tools, making it easy to manage your change processes and coordinate teamwork and model changes. also makes branch management easy, through a powerful model Diff/Merge tool. With, you can manage large-scale projects by organizing team cooperation in a multi-project scheme using the model components exchange/delivery mechanism. An exclusive technology, model components provide a flexible and efficient way of exchanging model parts or delivering perfectly defined PIMs and PSMs (version management and inter-dependency). Through all these features, helps ensure that teamwork is efficient and productive, whatever the size of your projects or teams. 13
Documentation Generation Documentation guarantees constantly up-to-date documentation automatically produced from models, associating text and images according to your own customizable document templates. Documents remain one of the best ways of sharing, communicating and further developing a model describing an application. Keeping documents up-to-date can be time-consuming and this is where a simple to use, task-automating production tool comes in. Whatever your role within the project (analyst, architect, developer), whatever the modeling tool used (Scope Manager, Modeler, MDA Modeler, SOA Solution), automatically produces documents that meet your expectations and documentation requirements, in the format of your choice (RTF/MS-Word or HTML), based on a model and its associated explanatory notes. Document templates are provided by default for requirements, analysis and design and can be easily adapted. New templates can be quickly and easily created using MDA Modeler features. You can also generate documents whose text can be managed and modified directly in MS Word and synchronized with the requirements model. 14
Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) MDA Modeler Using MDA technology, build your own dedicated model-driven development tool by adapting to your company or your project's particular context. The construction of methodological support and code production tools for complex architectures enables easy SOA application development. With MDA Modeler, you can easily build and integrate your MDA adaptations in, in order to: tool and drive a specific methodological approach extend 's modeling capacities simplify the work of your teams and increase productivity capitalize on best modeling practices systematize code and documentation generation work MDA Modeler is a new generation of tool designed to make MDA implementation simple. You define your MDA model transformation or code generation tools just as easily as your UML models, directly in UML2 or using a dedicated graphical editor: edit your UML profiles graphically in UML2 automatically transform your models (PIM and PSM) automate production of your design patterns adapt code generation to your target simply define documentation generation using document templates Packaged as MDA components, these extensions and adaptations can be dynamically applied to a project and combined to configure your own modeling and production environment. 15
MDA customization and extension in Java MDA Modeler With MDA Modeler, you can model your UML extensions with the graphical profile editor and take advantage of the powerful Java API to adapt and make it the tool for productivity and quality. The metamodel (UML2, BPMN, diagrams, Goals, etc.) is open and entirely accessible through a Java API. Any action an end-user can carry out using can be programmed through the Java API: browsing and element searches within the model adaptation of UML element presentation definition of specific graphical editors providing their own element presentation addition or adaptation of tools, menu, buttons and palettes extension and adaptation of the tool's GUI automated model transformation (model to model, model to code) code generation to target platforms Dedicated wizards help reduce Java programming and decrease the tool customization techniques learning curve. The power of MDA technology, the richness of Java and the scope of 's features combine to multiply the quality and productivity of your developments, through the customization of to your own methods and your own production platforms. 16
Code generation Developer Automated code generation for Java J2EE, C#.NET, C++ and SQL targets and the support of frameworks like Spring, JSF, Struts, Hibernate and SOA-specific frameworks, bring substantial productivity and quality gains. Corba idl and Fortran code generation is also supported. The code generators capitalize on the very best programming know-how. They guarantee productivity and quality by systematizing generation rules throughout your projects. You can choose between several parameterization levels to drive generation, including taking full advantage of MDA to write your own generators. Model/code consistency is permanently managed between and the IDE of your choice (Eclipse, Visual Studio, NetBeans ). The developer simply completes the UML model using method algorithms and relying on the guidance provided by the tool. Modeling is fully exploited: the user never has to reformulate the model in the target language. Code complements are attached to model elements and stored in the repository. Consistency is guaranteed at all times. If the model is modified, incrementally regenerates the code and if the code is modified, it guarantees the update of the model via its repository. guarantees permanent code/model synchronization in both model-driven and round-trip modes. Developer provides specially adapted ergonomics. Within the UML model, the developer has a user interface that is specific to his target language, where he finds language-specific notions, entry windows and services, such as Javadoc, Ndoc, Doxygen and Design Patterns, to help him make his model even more productive. 17
Eclipse integration Developer Use the Eclipse plug-in version to obtain a high-performance integrated modeling and development environment for Java/J2EE platforms.
