Excel Software is shipping a new version of the WinA&D modeling tool and WinTranslator reengineering tool that supports PHP software design, code generation and model generation from code.

PHP is a modern scripting language for procedural and object-oriented programming.  It drives popular web sites that often grow into large-scale development projects.  WinA&D adds PHP modeling enhancements and code generation from class diagrams or structure charts.  Often PHP programs provide the glue between web pages and a database engine.  Data models drawn in WinA&D can generate the SQL schema.

WinTranslator scans PHP source code to extract design information presented as class diagrams and structure charts in WinA&D.  Structural diagrams and dictionary information extracted from legacy source code, class frameworks or open source projects yield reusable code assets in minutes.  WinA&D and WinTranslator provide a rich, scalable modeling environment with code generation from models and model generation from code.

* UML Class Models to and from C++, C#, Java, Delphi, Ada, or PHP
* Rich Data Models to and from SQL
* Structure Charts to and from C, Pascal, Delphi, Basic, Fortran or PHP

WinA&D is a comprehensive tool for system models and simulation, requirements management, structured analysis and design, object-oriented UML, multi-task and database design.  The new release streamlines requirements traceability, adds fast global search across thousands of files and folders and fully automates model generation of multi-threaded software systems.

PHP programs are event driven by end-user actions like clicking a button or selecting a menu on a web page.  A user event may trigger a thread of execution running thousands of lines of PHP code.  WinTranslator and WinA&D sift through and identify execution threads, then present each in a structure chart.  Reused program branches are presented on a shared diagram.  The same automated process applied to embedded, real-time C code requires little human effort to reveal the structure of a large software system.

The new WinA&D 5.1.1 and WinTranslator 3.0.1 release is a free download for current 5.1 and 3.0 customers.  WinA&D for Windows has a Standard edition at $495, Desktop edition at $1195 and Developer edition at $1995.  A site license allows multi-user, team dictionary and requirements.  WinTranslator is $495.  See www.excelsoftware.com for product information, demo editions, pricing and secure online ordering.
