EventStudio is a CASE tool for distributed object oriented

system design. EventStudio supports multiple scenario use case

and sequence diagram modeling. It is particularly suited for:

o Use case development

o Object sequence diagram development

o Message sequence charts (MSCs) for telecom and embedded systems

o Protocol design and documentation

o Process flow diagrams

EventStudio Features:

o A different approach to CASE tools: generate vs. draw.

Man invented handwriting because hieroglyphics did not

scale very well with the growing complexity of human thought.

Unfortunately conventional CASE tools of

today are trying to take us back to hieroglyphics.

EventStudio takes a different approach:

- Enter specifications in a simple text based format.

- No need to struggle with clumsy graphical editors.

- Automatic layout and formatting. You do not need to

worry about the layout.

- Designed for real-world complex problems. Layout

techniques scale well with increasing complexity

- Generate sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams,

context diagrams, message sequence charts,

unit test procedures from a single input file.

o Generates sequence diagrams and use cases in

PDF (Portable Document Format from Adobe).

Most formatting issues are handled automatically.

- Generate summary of large sequence diagrams

by limiting the level of detail

- Generate interface sequence diagrams/ use cases

by specifying interface filters

- Select popular US and ISO paper sizes for PDF documents

- Generate unit test procedures, component wise summary

and message statistics documents in HTML

o Supports definition of multiple scenarios for

a Feature. You can automatically generate

use cases and sequence diagrams for success

and failure scenarios.

- Add new success and failure scenarios on the fly

- Quickly navigate to branching points for different

scenarios

- Scenario relationships are represented as trees

o Go beyond UML sequence diagram support. You can depict

- Timer start, stop and expiry

- Resource allocation and freeing

- Action start and action end

- Dynamic object creation and deletion

- State transitions

- Modules, processors and objects and their

relationships

- And much more

o EventStudio reviews the design for all success and

failure scenarios to catch errors like

- Free running timers

- Resource leaks

- Unfinished actions

- Dynamic object deletion

- And much more

o Promotes a semi formal development environment.

EventStudio gives you the freedom and flexibility

of text documents while also adding a formal

component to the design

o Free version upgrades and support.
