architectureFx

ArchitectureFX is an open-source project for building, maintaining, and evolving enterprise software architecture in a model-driven approach. It offers the capabilities for software architects to visualize, analyze, and transform complex software structures. This framework aims to provide a comprehensive toolkit for software architecture management and analysis, facilitating integration with existing source code management systems and version control services.

The primary focus of ArchitectureFX is to provide a flexible and scalable toolset for architects to model, analyze, and document software systems. It enables the creation of high-level design models, enabling architects to engage in discussions and explorations of trade-offs and feasibility of complex systems. The framework also supports the visualization of system structure, highlighting relationships and dependencies, helping architects to understand the system's properties and behavior.

One of the core features of ArchitectureFX is its model-driven approach. The framework allows architects to define architectural models using a high-level language and these models can be analyzed, simulated, and transformed without requiring a detailed, low-level implementation. This model-driven design process aims to capture strategic architectural goals and ensure consistency between architectural and implementation details.

ArchitectureFX is based on Eclipse and offers integration with other Eclipse-based tools and frameworks. Its models can be interconnected and referenced to implement a comprehensive architectural mapping and analysis capabilities. The project's primary objective is to accelerate the transformation of software architecture and make modeling and analysis a seamless part of the overall development process.
