QuickCRC automates responsibility driven design with CRC cards and design scenarios. Enter data for each object into CRC cards or drag attributes, responsibilities or collaborations between cards for instant design changes. Define and simulate scenarios to ensure the design works. Design data can be exported to MacA&D, WinA&D or QuickUML to generate a UML model or CRC cards can be captured from source code with the MacTranslator or WinTranslator reengineering tools.

QuickUML is a UML design tool that supports a highly integrated, core set of UML models that can be applied to almost any object-oriented project. A design project is presented in a tabbed window that includes use cases, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, data dictionary and source code. C++, Java, Delphi and Objective-C code can be generated from the class model. QuickUML implements a tightly integrated environment where each use case links to models and code and design changes are reflected across the project. The focus and ease-of-use of this tool makes it well suited for agile development methods and extreme programming.

QuickHelp is the easy way to create, maintain and deploy application help. Help information resides in a single XML file with royalty-free QuickHelp Viewers available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. QuickHelp has Contents and Index panels, an automatic search field plus help topics formatted with images, tables, colored text, user initiated actions, conditional topics, hypertext links and context sensitive help from applications.
