MacA&D Developer OSX - Software Engineering made Easy!
MacA&D integrates system analysis, requirements management, software design, code generation, reengineering and flexible report generation into one powerful tool.

UML
MacA&D implements the full UML notation for object-oriented software design. Package and class diagrams show class structure. Use cases capture the functional requirements. Statecharts define specific states of a system and events that cause transitions between states. Object interactions are shown on communication or sequence diagrams, while activity diagrams reveal parallel behavior. Deployment diagrams illustrate runtime relationships for hardware and software components.

Structured Analysis & Design
MacA&D supports structured analysis and design of multi-tasking, real-time systems. Data and control flow diagrams show the flow of information through a system. State diagrams and tables identify modes of operation and event handling. Task diagrams illustrate threads of execution connected by operating system services. Structure charts highlight call structure between modules.

Data Modeling
Database designers use logical and physical data models that represent tables, views, constraints, assertions, triggers, indexes, procedures and other SQL elements, then generate the SQL schema code for an RDBMS.
Requirements Management
MacA&D provides an integrated solution for managing requirements with capabilities to identify, specify, group, track and control requirements.
Code & Report Generation
To leverage its comprehensive modeling environment, MacA&D has code generation for object-oriented, procedural and database designs. Using MacTranslator, class, structure and data models can be automatically generated from code. The extensive suite of verification, balancing, import and export commands help locate information, check for errors and share work with other users, development tools and platforms. The built-in, fully scriptable report generator comes with dozens of standard reports for viewing project information using an HTML browser or word processor.

Requirements:
Macintosh G4 or G5 with 256 MB RAM and 100 MB hard disk space.
