Design Driven Testing: Test Smarter, Not Harder

Written by
The groundbreaking book Design Driven Testing brings sanity back to the software development process by flipping around the concept of Test Driven Development (TDD)—restoring the concept of using testing to verify a design instead of pretending that unit tests are a replacement for design. Anyone who feels that TDD is “Too Damn Difficult” will appreciate this book. Design Driven Testing shows that, by combining a forward-thinking development process with cutting-edge automation, testing can be a finely targeted, business-driven, rewarding effort. In other words, you’ll learn how to test smarter, not harder. Applies a feedback-driven approach to each stage of the…
We are glad to announce the availability of LieberLieber AMUSE 1.5.  AMUSE stands for Advanced Modeling UML Simulation & Execution and is a plugin for EA which allows simulating behavioral diagrams. AMUSE aims at detecting issues early in the project lifecycle by validating your model through simulation. The Goal is to correct errors in your business workflow or application logic before your software engineers write a single line of code.  You can even reuse the source code generated by AMUSE for your applications (C# supported in the standard package).  The download on our website includes a Tutorial and a help…
Sparx Systems announces that it will provide support to the Joint Research Centre(JRC) by making licenses of Enterprise Architect available to the Spatial Data Infrastructure(SDI) unit.  JRC is developing the legal acts and guidelines for the technical components of INSPIRE, delivering integrated spatial information services to European policy makers. For further information, please read the full press release.
I'm glad to announce the release of MANEA. MANEA is a plugin to MANTIS BUG Tracker, which allows for two-way synchronization of selected entries from the MANTIS BT system according to the repository requirements contained in Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems. MANEA synchronizes only those entries that are appropriately marked. Characteristics of MANEA:     Mapping entries and applications in Enterprise Architect to specific application model artifacts     Discussing the requirements set by Enterprise Architect in the MANTIS system     Enabling a wide range of people to report requirements proposals and allowing administrators to indicate which entries are integrated into Enterprise…
Sparx Systems will sponsor the inaugural CEN/TC 287 Award for Academic Excellence within INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community). This award will promote academic excellence within the European geospatial community, specifically in development and deployment of interoperability standards. It provides an industry acknowledgement of the outstanding efforts of students and their mentors in this area of geomatics. The award was announced at the INSPIRE Conference 2010 in Kraków, Poland, and will be presented at the INSPIRE meeting in 2011 in Scotland.
This workshop teaches delegates how to create RTF templates in order to generate company documentation straight from Enterprise Architect. Creating document templates is an essential project task but also typically a specialised skill. Tassc's consultant/trainer will guide delegates through all the key aspects and subtleties of RTF report generation in a highly practical 1-day workshop. This workshop can be extended to a second day to guide delegates in creating company specific document templates. Tassc offers on-site workshops and training courses throughout the UK and Europe. Tassc is an authorised training partner for Sparx Systems Australia and provides formal training, consulting …

It is open to non delegates and free of charge.  Registration is required to attend the event. For further information please visit the ISO/TC website: http://www.isotc211.org To access the Geospatial Harmonized Model EAP files, follow this link: http://www.isotc211.org/hmmg/EArchitect/2015/  
Please join Terry Merriman, Chief Architect at OAD Consulting, for a free IASA webinar on Tuesday, April 27, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern Time (US). You will get to see Enterprise Architect and (EA)2, OAD's Enterprise Architecture Modeling Framework add-in for Enterprise Architect, in action. Topic: A Model-based Approach to Enterprise Architecture Abstract: Enterprise Architecture must address the needs of a multitude of stakeholders in terms they can understand. It should leverage existing information sources, such as configuration management systems, to get up-to-date current state information and merge it with future state planning. To ensure the success of any enteprise…
Soluta.Net is glad to announce the release of ProjectWeaver, an add-in conceived to improve the work experience of those who use Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect in medium/large-sized projects. To manage complex Enterprise scenarios, Enterprise Architect allows to split a project into many model roots. This permits to tame the complexity of a project, but can lead to the production of huge model structures. As an alternative, we can split the project into multiple subprojects: in this way, the project size is reduced, but we cannot take advantage of the resource sharing features provided by Enterprise Architect. ProjectWeaver aims at helping organizations using Enterprise…
