This visual modeling tool—available free of charge from Ivar Jacobson International—allows you to create UML use cases and class models. Designed for business and systems analysts, Essential Modeler reduces the complexity and clutter common to many UML modeling tools—even while offering the full array of expected features and improving on many of those provided in other tools.
The analysts’ enabler
With Essential Modeler, analysts can quickly and accurately model system requirements and architecture without having to be expert in complicated modeling languages or all-encompassing integrated development environments. When combined with Use-Case Express or WayPointer, Essential Modeler provides an end-to-end solution for eliciting, specifying and reviewing requirements and for generating test cases based on the requirements defined.
