ARIS UML Designer

From Process Models to Executable Applications

All business software serves the same purpose: to provide the best possible support for corporate processes. Close cooperation between user departments and IT staff is therefore key to the success of software projects, whether they involve adapting packaged software or developing custom solutions.

To facilitate this kind of cooperation, ARIS UML Designer combines conventional business process modeling with software development. The result is a seamless, integrated approach to developing business applications, covering every stage from process analysis to system design.

ARIS UML Designer is the first tool to speak the languages of business processes and software development. Because it supports the entire software development process, there is no need for extra steps outside this process. With ARIS UML Designer, all process modelers and UML modelers work with an integrated software product. Users access process model data and UML content via a Web browser, thereby enabling processing and change management within a multi-user environment.

Your benefits:

  • Integration of business processes and UML in software development projects
  • Consistent and comprehensive implementation of a business-oriented software development process
  • Simple creation and communication of development documentation
  • Linking of object-oriented design and code generation (CASE tools)
  • All UML diagram types supported

Transferring the requirements and workflows of an operational department into a UML application diagram
All functions to be implemented in a software system are identified from the business processes. These functions are then transferred to a UML application diagram. ARIS provides a predefined transformation process for this purpose.

Capturing the requirements and workflows of operational departments
The ARIS methodology has been designed for ease of use by both business employees and software developers. It promotes communication between those involved and is thus an excellent foundation for performing joint requirements analysis.

Business and IT speaking a common language
The operational and IT departments collaborate on building the analysis model from the process model. Although the operational department can determine which elements of a process are relevant for software development, the object-oriented analyst is better placed to decide whether an object corresponds to a class or an attribute.
