Sparx Systems releases Enterprise Architect 10
Sparx has release a new version of Enterprise Architect. This tool is by far the best software engineering tool available on the market today. I have been using it as my primary tool for Enterprise and Software Architecture for years now. If you have never checked it out, now is as good as time as any.
Sparx Systems has released Enterprise Architect 9.3 which includes ArchiMate 2.0
Sparx Enterprise Architecture is my tool of choice for software architecture, design, project management, and project planning. This new version offers some really great new features.

Software Product Line Engineering Resource Kit
I recently decided to update the Product Line Engineering Assets I reuse from project to project. In the past I reused a baseline project that contained a folder structure and the UML stereotypes needed to do Use Cases, Feature, and Static Modeling.

An add-in for Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems to improve productivity, particularly when maintining existing diagrams.
Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) Project, SPARX Enterprise Architect (EA), and ALM Enablement
A problem that I see with a lot of process instances (RUP, OpenUP, etc.) is that the templates provided are static word documents. I know that has been par for course over the years, but SPARX EA gives us a better option for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Enablement.
SPARX EA 7.0 and MDG Link 3.0 for VSTS 2005 Works, but the Annoying Upgrade Installation Process is Back
Today I took the chance that the problem in this post which caused me to revert back to EA (Enterprise Architect) 6.5 from EA 7.0 and from MDG 3.0 to MDG 2.1 was fixed with SPARX EA build 814.
SPARX Enterprise Architect (EA) 7.0 and MDG Link 3.0 for Visual Studio 2005 Installation Headaches
I upgraded to SPARX Enterprise Architect (EA) 7.0 and MDG Link 3.0 for Visual Studio 2005 and then downgraded to MDG Link 2.1 for Visual Studio 2005.
Product Line Engineering (PLE) UML Modeling Profile in Sparx Enterprise Architect (EA)
Product Line Engineering is at the heart of Microsoft's Software Factory movement. Although we have benefited greatly from the release of the Mobile Client Software Factory, the Smart Client Software Factory, the Web Client Software Factory, and the Web Service Software Factory, we still do not have any new tools to create our own. I am still defaulting to the UML Profile that has served me well in the past. This series cover the PLE UML profile and contains a Sparx EA template with the profile pre-loaded.
