2. Installation
2.1 System requirements
SDMetrics runs on platforms supporting the Java™ 1.6 or better
runtime environment (JRE). Memory usage depends on the size of the models
analyzed and typically ranges from 40MB for small systems (a few hundred
model elements) to 500MB-1GB for large systems (several hundred thousand
model elements). The GUI requires at least a 17" color display.
Disk space required for the installation is less than 10MB (not counting
the JRE). Typically, the hardware that runs your UML modeling tools will
also be sufficient to run SDMetrics.
If you do not already have the JRE installed on your machine, obtain
the latest version of the JRE for your platform at http://www.java.com/. Follow the
download and installation instructions provided there.
2.2 Quick Installation and Start
- Unpack the compressed archive (zip file) you received or
downloaded to a folder of your choice.
- Make sure you have read and agreed with the license agreement
License.txt before using SDMetrics.
- To start SDMetrics, double-click the file SDMetrics.jar,
or invoke the script SDMetrics.bat (Windows platforms) or
SDMetrics.sh (Unix/Linux platforms).
For further installation options, see Section
2 of the user manual included in this distribution.
The User Manual also includes a short
guided tour to get you started
calculating your first set of metrics for your UML designs.
3. Demo version limitations
This SDMetrics Demo version differs from the full version as follows:
- Data and graph export is disabled. To judge the suitability of the output files,
folder "samples" contains a sample XMI file and a
set of output files demonstrating
most of the data export options.
- Three percent of the metric values are not shown in the metric data tables.
All other features can be tested without any size or time restrictions, including
advanced features such as customized metrics, rules and XMI import.
