WinA&D is scalable to large projects, multiple users, distributed team development and the integration of thousands of documents across the development process.
A software designer can choose the best mix of software models and notations for their specific development project. WinA&D supports process, data, class, state, structure, object and task models with dozens of popular notations and hundreds of customization options. In addition to language independent models, source code can be generated from models or models created from code. The growing list of supported programming languages include C++, C#, Java, Delphi, PHP, Ada, SQL, C, Pascal, Basic and Fortran.
Requirement entries are defined as structured information in a Requirement Definition dialog controlled by a template with user-defined field and value choices. Requirement entries can be linked to any kind of target document, diagram or specific diagram objects to provide two-way traceability. Powerful features enable developers to easily link and navigate between thousands of requirement entries and targets. Requirement information is presented through user-defined views, queries and reports.
WinA&D has dozens of ready-to-run reports that present project diagrams, tables, specifications, dictionary and requirements to an HTML browser or word processor. The built-in scriptable report generator makes it easy to create custom reports with full control over content and format. The report generator has complete access to any data within any WinA&D document. Custom reports and user-scripted features can be included as menu commands or buttons in application dialogs.
WinA&D for Windows is available in a Standard edition for $495, Desktop edition for $1195 or Developer edition for $1995. Documents can be shared with MacA&D on Mac OS X. See the company web site for product information, site license pricing and secure online ordering.
