Core::Architect
  • Ensures applications are designed to meet business requirements while still operating effectively within existing infrastructure
  • Makes it easy for technical and nontechnical team members to understand and work with design concepts
  • Future-proofs applications to keep pace with evolving technology and changing requirements

Equip your architects with role-centric, process-driven solution for optimizing the design of IT/Engineering architectures to meet requirements

Core::Architect Features

Borland Core::Architect is a role-centric interface to the Borland Core™ SDP software delivery platform. Core::Architect provides the architect with an integrated environment that keeps specifications, models, and code in sync throughout the entire application lifecycle, even in the face of changing requirements.

Reducing complexity with a complete design and modeling environment

  • Easy generation of visual diagrams that shields the complexity of UML.®
  • Reverse-engineering capabilities make existing code bases easier to understand and maintain.
  • Automatic generation of supporting documentation — such as UML class diagrams — for new and existing applications.

Designing applications for flexibility

  • Standards-based modeling capabilities make MDA® a reality, which promotes the adoption of Model Driven Development™ (MDD).
  • Creation of platform-neutral models that can be transformed into platform-specific models reduces dependency on underlying infrastructure.
  • SOAs are easier to manage with a high-level view of the entire system, which enables understanding of how new services will affect the existing architecture.

Communicating design information across large, distributed teams

  • Business and technical stakeholders alike can relate to holistic, big-picture view.
  • Synchronization of models and code keeps distributed teams in sync and reduces margin for error.
  • Access to design artifacts such as class diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, etc. help developers understand application design structure and behavior
  • Audits and metrics capabilities to perform design and code reviews.

Integrating modeling into your existing environment

  • Requirements management integrations to trace requirements and create use cases.
  • IDE integrations (Borland JBuilder,® Eclipse) keep design and code in sync.
  • Integrates with Borland StarTeam® central repository for software asset reuse — leverage industry-standard blueprints and reuse existing components.
  • Flexible approach to modeling makes it easier to get started — with no imposed structure that enforces steps and procedures (unlike IBM® Rational Rose®/RUP).
