MagicDraw UML 10.0 Outruns Other Modeling Tools in Race for Full UML 2.0 Support
Golden,
CO, October 10, 2005. No Magic, Inc.®, a leading vendor of architecture
modeling software, today announced the release of MagicDraw® UML 10.0, a significant
upgrade of No Magic’s award-winning UML-based architecture tool. MagicDraw 10.0
delivers support for the latest UML 2.0 and BPMN standards with improved
diagramming, a completely redesigned GUI and other expanded capabilities that
combine to accelerate architecture modeling.
MagicDraw
UML 10.0 is the first – and to date, the only
-- tool on the market to support the latest public UML 2.0 Superstructure
specification from the Object Management Group (OMG). MagicDraw already led the
industry with full support of the UML 2.0 notation standard, and now adds UML
2.0 metamodel support, including the newest revisions introduced by OMG in
October 2004. Though several other tools support both the metamodel and notation,
MagicDraw is the only to fully comply with the latest specification. MagicDraw’s support of the UML 2.0 metamodel covers all four
compliance levels and corresponds to Level 3 (L3), which represents a complete
UML implementation. Strong adherence to open standards makes MagicDraw the tool
of choice in the world of Model Driven Architecture (MDA). To promote
interchange with other software development tools, MagicDraw models are stored
in the latest XMI 2.1 standard from OMG.
"We
are very proud of the results realized from our 18 month effort to fully
support the UML 2.0 specification. MagicDraw is one of the first tools on the
market to implement UML 2.0 and we continue to provide our customers the most
complete standards compliant solution.
This latest release, for example, includes all the latest changes
introduced by the OMG," said Michael Harris, CEO of No Magic.
Business
process modeling is an increasingly
important aspect of enterprise system development, and Business Process
Modeling Notation (BPMN) is the most recognized standard employed for
end-to-end business process modeling. In addition to the process modeling
capabilities of UML, MagicDraw 10.0 now also provides BPMN business process
modeling support. MagicDraw is ideal for both business and IT users. By using a
single tool to develop and manage business models and IT models, business
systems are better aligned with business strategies, redundant efforts are
eliminated and model interchange is no longer a problem.
In
recent years, architecture and modeling processes have helped software
development organizations improve development, minimize maintenance costs, and
reduce development time. However, MagicDraw adds value far beyond the benefits
of modeling. The redesigned, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), improved
diagramming capabilities, and faster reporting greatly accelerate the speed of
modeling and architecture creation. Focused development vision and sustained
investment in tool usability have made MagicDraw the fastest and most
productive UML tool on the market.
