Unified Modeling Language (UML) is getting a boost from Telelogic this week. Telelogic this week is announcing Doors/Analyst, a UML modeling tool that operates within the Doors requirements management tool. The company also is shipping versions 2.2 of Tau/Architect and Tau/Developer, which are UML-based modeling tools.Doors tools are used in development of applications for industries such consumer packaged goods, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and aerospace. Shipping at the end of the month, Doors/Analyst introduces UML modeling in the requirements management process. Requirements engineers and systems analysts can visualize requirements within the Doors database using UML 2.0 graphical diagrams, according to Telelogic. Prior to Doors/Analyst, users of Doors had to switch to another tool to place in diagrams or use cases. “Now, you can create those directly within Doors/Analyst,” said Bill Shaw, vice president of lifecycle solutions at Telelogic.Tau/Architect 2.2 and Tau/Developer 2.2 provide development teams with a model-driven architecture approach based on UML 2.0. Tau/Architect enables systems engineers to more effectively model the design of large, complex systems while Tau/Developer generates production-quality code for advanced or real-time applications based on verified models within Tau/Developer or imported from Tau/Architect. Tau/Developer and Tau/Architect have been used for applications such as aerospace, automotive and defense-related systems. New features in version 2.2 of the products include user-definable graphical symbols, or bitmaps; a graphical compare and merge feature and a UML 1x import facility, enabling legacy UML intellectual property to be reused.
