Thanks everybody for the informations... It's important to know the level of quality of the code generated on those tools, since we will invest money and time (and time to live with it) .... in order to bind our expectative with the real source…

You should try MagicDraw, IMHO it's the best non open source tool. There is a great support team, the "must have" features such as : DSL customization, teamwork capabilites, ready to use profiles, great open API, velocity templating…

Thanks everyone for feedback. I also agree about the non open source tools. I'll continue to evaluate EA and giving feedback to you... (sorry i didn't reply earlier)... It would be a good move if other could give percepctions of other no…

Rui Curado replied to Paulo Cesar Mattos Ferreira's discussion 'Enterprise Architect'
Agreed, Vlad. Open source is an illusion. Unless you get some critical mass on an open source project (like Eclipse), all you have is an uncertain future. Of course there is a degree of uncertainty in every company but in an open source project…

Enterprise Architect

Does anyone has evaluate Enterprise Architect?I've just started on my own . It seems very complete at a first sight and a popular tool.

Agree with Rafael and Rui. Take a representative small subsystem, (retro)model it, generate it as a proof of concept. Don't forget that the real stake won't be the proof of how powerful MDD is. IMHO, it will be how you integrate MDD in an…

Thanks Rafael and Rui for express freely your ideas. That's how a forum should be. I'm glad to have become member of this network. Of course , only to model takes a lot o risk - that's why I (in that case) wouldn't put much…

Rui Curado replied to Paulo Cesar Mattos Ferreira's discussion 'Preparing for MDD'
I agree with Rafael. People who have only modeled (UML comes to mind) have failed. It's better to go all the way in MDD, from model to code. If you have time constraints, model just a part of the running system, but show how powerful and…

Rafael Chaves replied to Paulo Cesar Mattos Ferreira's discussion 'Preparing for MDD'
Paulo, Please take no offense, but I think of the approach you describe as 'mindless modeling'. I think that building models that don't lead to running code a disservice to any software organization, and actually that instead of…

Paulo Cesar Mattos Ferreira replied to Paulo Cesar Mattos Ferreira's discussion 'Preparing for MDD'
Thanks Rafael, I would model without generate code in order to keep the intelligence (or part of it) out of the code. I believe it adresses issues like: -the turn over of IT staff - it simpliflies the understant of the business for a new…

Rafael Chaves replied to Paulo Cesar Mattos Ferreira's discussion 'Preparing for MDD'
Paulo, why would you model if you don't plan to generate running code from it? Even if you want to start only experimenting with MDD, you should go all the way, from model to runnable code. You manage risk by starting with the smallest…

Preparing for MDD

What would be a conservative initiative for MDA/MDD?In a cenario with legacy systems, if one thinks its still early to adopt MDA , but is sure it will be one day.The missing issues are knowledge to choose (and how to choose) the ideal tools, and knowledge to work with this paradigm.So , I think that the efforts should be.1) Begin to model2) Don't put to much detail in the model because the lack of sincronicity with code.3) Use a modelling tool that is alread prepared for MDA. I'd like to read…See More
