BridgePoint

What BridgePoint is

BridgePoint is a model-driven development suite for editing UML models, executing them, and translating them into implementation code. Its Eclipse-based desktop environment combines a UML editor, Verifier, and model compilers. Verifier supports simulated runs and debugging with stack traces, variable views, stepping, and breakpoints. Compilers can translate models into languages such as C and SystemC, with support for standards including IP-XACT, AUTOSAR, and MISRA-C. Modeling constructs let projects connect to existing code and libraries. The suite supports class, component, state machine, interaction, activity, use case, sequence, and communication or collaboration diagrams, as well as team collaboration and a model repository. The Editor, Verifier, and compilers are available under the Apache 2.0 license, and the free plan costs nothing. Install packages include Eclipse and BridgePoint without requiring pre-existing software. Nightly builds contain newer code but are described as the least-tested engineering delivery. Production projects can obtain professional releases and support through a Service Pro contract.
