MacA&D - 7.5

MacA&D is a comprehensive tool for system analysis, requirement specifications, software design and code generation. Popular modeling notations andsupported methods include object-oriented analysis and design with UML or structured analysis and design using Yourdon/DeMarco. InformationEngineering (Martin) style data models are used to develop information systems. Model editors are complimented with verification and balancing reports,code generation, reengineering capabilities and scriptable HTML reporting features.Logical data models often use expressive names and various presentation options to communicate information between developers. The names ofdatabase objects like tables, views and columns are typically more constrained and cryptic in physical data models due to the RDBMS limitations and thelegacy systems that they represent. MacA&D allows designers to easily toggle between logical and physical models and show entities (tables) with fullattribute lists, primary and foreign keys only or customized to show specific attributes.
