Introduction to TOGETHER When you start touching Together, it is a modeling tool that automatically generates code. After Borland acquires together, many features have increased in modeling, while adding other features, such as code auditing, metrics, etc. OK, such a good tool, let's take a look. I. Features TOGETHER's functionality is roughly (from TOGETHER document): 1 Support all major UML graphics to make full use of UML to build the correct architecture to meet your business goals. Each software item requires a blueprint to keep the entire group to advance and build the correct software in the same direction. TOGETHER extends the development framework by integrating UML capabilities, simplifies the complex process of building software. 2. Automatically perform models and code for synchronous use of models and code, allowing more effective development team communication and collaboration. Simultaneous synchronization allows manual updates to the past, maintaining the information update of the development team using the same information. The model is in a flexible state. This is because any changes made by the development team are always reflected in the code and model, making the development team more efficient and more effective. 3, the automatic document generation keep the development team focuses on design and implementation, not the proposed document. TOGETHER provides powerful and customizable documentation capabilities, including a variety of document formats and custom templates. By automatically generating documents, developers can focus on software development, and the team leaders have information on it. 4. Supporting the model of industry standards uses the industry's leading model to develop work, improve the quality of the architecture. TOGETHER supports standard mode, such as GOF and J2EE, and also provides the ability to change existing mode and create new modes. A wide range of modes support the development team to multiplex mode in future projects, improve the architectural quality of all projects. 5. Use the audit and measurement software quality audit to provide the development team to provide quality measurement quality and strengthen the capacity of enterprise standards in the initial measurement of software development. Determination of quality before distribution, developers can improve the quality of the code, and find and fix their own errors before the code transfers the QA team. The audit variable can be customized and saved, so that the development team can develop code standards, monitoring the code exceeds the recognition specification. The audit is also used to change the developer's personal code to comply with the company's coding standard. 6. Software development using metrics provides the development team to provide the ability to measure software project complexity, quality and scale. By measuring and standard checking information, managers can know the quality and efficiency of the development team and the development process, and better perform quantification of current and future projects. 7. Reconstructing a large number of reconstructed features in TOGETHER technology verify that all system changes are transmitted correctly to the entire application. The result obtained is that the code is not easy to errors, and the quality of the application is improved. Of course, there are other features, such as generating test cases, teamwork, etc. TOGETHER has a separate version, as well as a plugin version of various IDEs, such as plugins such as jBuilder, VS .NET, Eclipse, etc. You can download the version you want to the following address: http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_together.html. Of course, there are 15 days of trial license, if you want to use long-term use, you need to buy. Together installation, use is relatively easy. Let me briefly introduce the main use.
(Based on TOGETHER EDITION for Eclipse 6.3) Second, Audits & Metrics After installation TOGETHER, there is a Modeling node in Eclipse's Windows / Preferences, which is the entire TOGETHER configuration node. There is Quality Assurance below this node, click on it, you can see the following GUI: The picture can be seen in the figure, which is the configuration of the audit and metrics. In particular, if you have energy, read the documentation of AUDITS is very necessary, I believe that the ability to improve programming is very helpful. The use of audit and metrics is very simple. You need to use the audit or measurement of the project, packs or classes to right click, select Quality Assurance on the pop-up menu, then select the corresponding function, if you choose AUDITS, determine, together will follow Your configuration and request auditing code, then the result page as shown below:
Click Right click on this list of results, you will also see other features of the Together audit, such as export results. You can export different types, different format results for further analysis.
Third, modeling and classic model example (Modeling & Gof / J2EE PATTERNS) TOGETHER The main function is still modeling. These features are not described in detail here, give an example, grab a few pictures to let everyone see. Let's create an example of the Patterns and Templates projects comes with together, as shown below:
After you have been built, you will see that TOGETHER uses Java code and UML map to show you 23 classic patterns and core J2EE patterns:
This helps you learn and understand design patterns! Ok, let's take a look at the Builder mode:
When I saw it, I can edit the UML map at any time. According to the UML map instant generation code, I can generate the UML map by the code. Do you want to install it? Ok, let me introduce here. If you have any questions, you can communicate together, please feel free to advice.
