Altova adds BPMN to UML modeling tool


By David Worthington
July 9, 2008 — 
The developer of a Unified Modeling Language (UML) tool has enabled the tool to draw business process workflows in Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) and has updated its application language support.

On July 1, Altova released UModel Version 2008 Release 2 (v2008r2), a UML tool for visually designing application models. It is available in Enterprise and Professional editions, with pricing starting at US$139.

The new release adds code generation and reverse-engineering features for C# 3.0, Java 6.0 and Visual Basic 9.0, the most recent versions of those languages. The Enterprise edition can plug into Eclipse as well as Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, while the Professional edition is a standalone product.

UModel can reverse-engineer code from unobfuscated applications and binary files, said David McGahey, Altova’s product marketing manager for UModel.

Both editions of UModel support the Object Management Group’s BPMN 1.0 specification. Object Management Group is responsible for maintaining the BPMN specification and is presently producing a recommendation for BPMN 2.0.

UModel Enterprise has new diagramming functionality in this release, including diagram layers, where diagram elements can be assigned and grouped to a specific layer.

UModel Enterprise v2008r2 “acts more like a drawing program” than before, McGahey explained, adding that users can construct complex diagrams out of multiple layers to view and hide individually, thus providing different perspectives of the model. For example, state diagrams can be displayed with multiple sub-states on separate layers, he said.
