Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems is a comprehensive modeling, design, and management tool used for business and IT system development. It supports the entire lifecycle of system development, from requirements gathering to design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The platform provides a wide range of features, including UML modeling, business process modeling (BPMN), SysML, and ArchiMate, offering support for agile and traditional methodologies. It enables users to create detailed visual models of systems, foster collaboration among stakeholders, and ensure alignment with business objectives. Enterprise Architect also integrates with version control systems, allows for simulation and prototyping, and provides reporting and documentation tools.
