Atego has launched Artisan Studio 7.2, a new version of its development tool suite.
The tool delivers a variety of modelling capabilities and functions. It has been re-architected to provide role-based Editions, which have been specifically designed to make the working environment more relevant and efficient for the specialist needs of enterprise architects, systems engineers and software engineers. The tool adds DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework) capabilities to complete its support for the OMG's UPDM 1.0 standard for defense architectural frameworks. The tool extends Artisan Studio Reviewer with metric reporting and simplifies the user interface to Artisan Publisher as well as continuing to improve core technologies with a model comparison tool, the Artisan Model Differencer, and adds more functionality for the Automatic Code Synchroniser and Activity Modeling.
The tool's Architect Enterprise Edition focuses on the capabilities required by an Enterprise Architect. It provides comprehensive support for UPDM including both DoDAF and MODAF, which addresses the visual modelling needs of the global defense community by providing support for all seven UPDM viewpoints and a standardised means to describe both DoDAF and MODAF architectures, which delivers benefits for developers of military systems in terms of design consistency, quality and efficiency, improved tool interoperability and cost savings. Systems Engineers can take advantage of the tool's SysML profile to build systems and systems of systems using the industry-standard SysML concepts and modelling language. The tool allows users to focus on systems engineering by providing the capability to document requirements, analysis diagrams, and traceability and manage change all within one tool using tool's integration with third-party tools such as DOORS and Mathworks Simulink. The tool can be a tool of choice for Software Engineers. It enables the generation of code from the design and is equipped with the tool's Automatic Code Synchronizer and Transformation development kit to allow them to automatically generate code from a design that matches the company's best practices and coding standards. This Edition is available for the C/C++, C#, VB, Java and Ada programming languages.
The Artisan Studio Reviewer now has 80 new metric reports, 13 user-defined reviews and new customer-requested reviews. The metrics provide powerful statistics for managers on the maturity of the models, complementing the correctness, completeness and consistency checks that were already available. With the launch of the tool, Artisan Publisher now has facilities to copy elements directly from an open Artisan Studio model and clearly view the content of the document. Additionally, many new templates have been introduced, specifically for the quick creation of repeatable and configurable output in UPDM, SysML and UML designs. The tool also includes code generators for POSIX compliant operating systems and many other lower level improvements to its modelling environment.
