ARTiSAN Studio selected by Aeroflex as standard for systems and software development

After intensive evaluation of the leading real-time UML tools, Aeroflex Test Solutions, Powell Division chose ARTiSAN Studio because of its unequalled support for both systems and software engineering, UML 2.0 support, reverse engineering, and comprehensive tool extension capabilities. According to Aeroflex Test Solutions, Powell Division: “ARTiSAN Studio’s ability to model systems with architecture diagrams and SysML enables us to model complete systems and not just software. That, coupled with ARTiSAN's excellent implementation and support of UML 2.0, enables us to achieve our goal of having our development team collaborate on common models. Because we have existing legacy systems that we are maintaining and evolving, the ability to reverse engineer is crucial. We found ARTiSAN's approach to reverse engineering both efficient and accurate. For software engineering, we were especially drawn to the flexibility of being able to use the code synchronizers independently of a software development environment. We also found that ARTiSAN provided extremely powerful capabilities for extending or customising ARTiSAN Studio should we need to create a custom capability. And finally, ARTiSAN’s support was excellent which, coupled with our other technical criteria, made ARTiSAN Studio an easy choice."

Jeremy Goulding, President and CEO of ARTiSAN Software Tools, commented: "As the provider of the most complete UML 2.0/SysML development solution on the market, ARTiSAN is pleased to add Aeroflex to its list of satisfied customers. ARTiSAN has taken a lead in the support of UML 2.0 and SysML, as the foundations of many of their key features have long been incorporated in ARTiSAN Studio as extensions to the original UML standard. While other tool vendors have been hedging their bets with proprietary or earlier OO technologies, ARTiSAN has been pushing the UML envelope to the benefit of all our customers. Now, as a contributor to the UML 2.0/SysML standards, ARTiSAN has raised the expectation levels of tool support in the market and continues to innovate with customer-driven features."
