Open Source Design Software

As software architect, you create a set of diagrams describing use-cases, requirements, structural views, behavioral and deployment views. These views show selected elements and their relationships. crystal_facet_uml keeps element names and element hierarchies consistent. This tool runs on your local PC. It stores the model data in a json-based file which can be versioned in git, branched and merged together with your source code. crystal-facet-uml exports diagrams as svg, pdf, ps, png or the complete model as DocBook, html, json or xmi.

A fast and reliable tool, written in Java 8, for generating professional UML sequence diagrams from text. Supports actors, con-/destructors, threads, broadcasts, notes, and fragments. Can serve as a Javadoc taglet. Exports PDF, (E)PS, SVG, PNG, ... The source code is hosted at http://github.com/sdedit/sdedit

ATS4 AppModel is an application flow design tool supporting application specification work, model based testing and test script generation. It provides simple interface to manage complex models. ATS4 AppModel is part of Nokia ATS tool family.

This tool enables you to produce a LaTeX (standard, no extension required) report for database objects (tables, views, indexes, functions, primary/foreign keys, columns, types, keywords, system functions) thanks to the JDBC Api.

Pdf writer library for Gambas

PHPCallGraph generates static call graphs for PHP source code using the CodeAnalyzer of the InstantSVC project and the DOT tool. The graphs can be leveraged to gain a better understanding of large software systems or even to debunk design flaws in them.

ADX is an XML schema for the representation of software architectural descriptions. The ADX project also includes supporting tools. ADX is designed to support the creation, generation, and transformation of documents conforming to the IEEE 1471 standard.

Developed in KBQuest Ltd, Compass framework is an architectural pattern for web application. It provides guidelines for developers to avoid misuse of frameworks.

**** THIS LIBRARY WAS MOVED INTO Boost **** New location: https://github.com/boostorg/contract C++ Contract Programming (a.k.a. Design by Contract or DbC). All Eiffel features supported: subcontracting, postcondition old and result values, optional contract compilation, customizable action on assertion failure, block invariants, loop variants, etc. Plus virtual specifiers, concept checking, named parameters. See: http://contractpp.sourceforge.net

The CoreASM project focuses on the design of a lean executable ASM (Abstract State Machines) language, in combination with a supporting tool environment for high-level design, experimental validation and formal verification of abstract system models.

pgDesigner is a Datamodel designer for PostgreSQL written in Gambas language.

Tracks project details using a variety of data options. Primarily designed to contain and organize software requirements in a multi-project, multi-user, environment using a networked SQL compliant database management system while tracking changes.

InPUT offers a descriptive and programming language independent format and IoC (Inversion of Control) container for the configuration and design of computer experiments. Code and more info can be found on github: http://github.com/feldob/InPUT

The program JStruct (JavaStructurizer) allows creation, editing and reverse engineering of Java code using structured blocks (NSD: Nassi-Shneiderman Diagrams ). JStruct provides an interactive graphical editor with copy, move, zoom, expand etc. Comments for each block ( javadoc and inline ), import and export of java source files. JStruct exports images in various raster and vector formats, and it offers high interactivity: tooltips and context menus, undo and redo functionality in a very intuitive GUI. Usages: - Development and Learning: create from scratch a new Java program, - Reverse engineering: the block structure facilitates the understanding of the code. - Documentation: NSD images can be added to javadoc. - Add-on tool: JStruct can be added to an IDE (eg JCreator ) - Java Pretty printer: to import then export a java file formats the code.

Business analysys/documentation management tool, inspired by the book "Writing Effective Use Cases" by Alistair Cockburn. Key wanted features are:managing & browsing versionable project requirements,use-cases,screen specs,docs generation,work with JIRA

project aimed towards design and subsequent implementation of compilers for new programming language

Lifecycle Manager allows software engineers to manage all stages in the development lifecycle without losing any knowledge of decisions and changes. This system is a groupware knowledge management system for software development.

LXD intends to be a documentation system for large OpenSource projects. It mixes low level information (source code symbols) with high level information (modules, abstract data types, algorithms), by using well defined XML documents.

Small add-on library for Struts that minimizes coupling between pages. It is based on a new software architecture vision using pages as independent components.

This is a modeling tool generating code from activity diagrams. The main goal is to achieve a good code generation. I would like to have different possibilities like HTML mapping from diagrams and Java code generation (maybe others) chosen by the user.

CASE tool

NFitnesse is an emulation of the popular Fitnesse Wiki and Test server that can be hosted under IIS

A text-based editor to dynamically create UML Sequence Diagrams.

Display in a UML-like diagram the dependencies of applications developed in NetBeans. Originally meant only to display module dependencies of NetBeans Rich Client Platform applications, thanks to the platform itself, it can display dependencies of "plain" and Maven-based Java projects. To display the dependencies, a new action is made available in the 'Source' menu and in the toolbar. The generated graphs can be saved as images or exported in PlantUML or Gephi formats.

The Open Code Quality Project offers Static Code Analyses as an free Online-Service for Open Source Code. Simply send your code, start the scan, receive the results.
