Visible Analyst
Student Edition
 |
| More than a dozen textbooks and workbooks distributed by a number of
leading publishers include a CD containing the Student Edition of Visible AnalystŪ. This "special" version of Visible Analyst will continue to
be maintained and enhanced as a separate product with a unique goal of educating the
future application development workforce.
Three network editions, called the Visible Analyst
University Edition, Academic Edition and Administrative Editions are available to Colleges and Universities for installation in computer
labs.
Visible AnalystŪ Student
Edition Features:
|
| Educating tomorrow's developers today.
Visible helps students become more marketable with advanced, affordable, application
development and training tools. Process Modeling (Data Flow Diagrams) Features:
- Supports techniques/notations of Yourdon/DeMarco and Gane
& Sarson methodologies
- Automatically number processes and data stores (Gane &
Sarson) on data flow diagrams (DFDs)
- Supports either/both "top-down" and
"bottom-up" analysis and design approaches
- Automatically balances data flows; interactively checks and
resolves balancing, leveling, syntax, and completeness
- Automatically populates integrated Repository; supports
splitting of data flows from Repository definitions
- Automatically generates decomposition diagrams

Data Modeling
(Entity-Relationship
Diagrams) Features:
- Supports entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs); choice of
Chen, Bachman, and IE notation styles
- Supports multiple entity types (including associative and
attributive)
- Auto-generates ERDs from Repository information; generates
multiple process views
- Automatically generates entity cluster diagrams
- Automatically synchronizes foreign keys
- Interactively checks and resolves normalization and syntax
problems; provides key analysis
- Balances data elements and entities against process models
- Provides automated relationship-description walkthroughs

Class Modeling
(Class
Diagrams) Features:
- Provides class definition including attributes, methods
(with parameter lists), type of visibility, relationships
- Seven class types: Standard, Structure, Elemental, Union,
Fundamental Entity, Associative Entity and Attributive Entity
- Verifies aggregation and inheritance relationships; verifies
"pure" virtual methods in "abstract" classes
- Uses appropriate Rumbaugh/OMT notation constructs for visual
representation of object relationships
(Return to Top)
State Transition Modeling
(State-Transition Diagrams) Features:
- Provides dynamic modeling using Rumbaugh/OMT notation
constructs
- Checks state-transition syntax via integrated, open
repository and rules engine
- Populates and maintains Repository with state and event
objects
- Links state transition diagrams (STDs) to class definitions,
showing attribute values and methods affecting them
(Return to Top)
Structured Design
Modeling (Structure Charts) Features:
- Supports Yourdon/Constantine and Page-Jones methods;
automatically populates integrated Repository
- Integrates automatically with data flow models; includes
syntax and completeness checking
- Supports use of Modules, Macros, Library Modules; allows
both control couples and data couples
- Allows multiple invocation techniques: direct, in-line,
decision, and pathological
- Measures design complexity and structure of structure charts
(SCs)
- Supports information clusters; interface table; intelligent
page connectors for large diagrams
(Return to Top)
Business Modeling
(Functional
Decomposition Diagrams) Features:
- Modeling of business functions and system processes, fully
related to the other
- Fully integrated support of FDDs by integrated Repository
- Supports automatic connection of functions and processes to
subsidiary functions and processes
- Supports intelligent page connectors for large models
- Auto-generation of DFDs from FDDs, with automatic process
balancing
- Validation of completeness and consistency of functions and
processes
- Full support for functional decomposition techniques of IE
(Martin) methodology

Repository, Networking and
Reporting Features:
- Integrated, centralized Repository with comprehensive and
maintainable object support
- Multi-user workgroup version permits concurrent access,
simultaneous update, file/record locking
- Comprehensive Repository reports: Detailed Listing; Summary
Listing; Cross Reference; Single Entry Listing; Related To Listing; Split Flow Listing;
Matrix Reports
- Custom Repository report capability
- Report preview; print to file or printer
