- 9. Imagine you want to peal an apple…
- 10. What is the appropriate tool?
- 11. Your good old Swiss army knife!
- 12. Because it does so many things!
- 13. Imagine you want to peal a bit more apples…
- 14. Is it still the best tool?
- 15. Better use this one…
- 16. and this one!

- 51. Two parts for two kinds of users Specification environment Runtime environment (Specifier / Developer) (End-user)
- 52. The Specification Environment • Define custom multi-view workbenches • • • Diagrams, Trees, Tables With little technical knowledge Get a working modeler fast • • Instant feedback Highly customizable • Native tooling • Java or extension points
- 53. The Runtime Environment • Executes the specification • • Environment adapted to user needs • • No code generation Viewpoint-based Simplified workflow • Modeling Project
