Is the model of my team consistent?

The productivity of systems depends on tool scalability. Active validation is especially important in safety critical domains, where live results enable the engineers to focus on understanding what needs to be corrected in the model, before errors are propagated further in the toolchain.

What is the content of the team’s model?

Project managers and reviewers have to inspect the lines that are connecting the dots. In order to help them see the full picture, custom queries can help model comprehension and inspection. Combined with powerful visualization features, these are essential components of the architect’s toolbox.

Which other projects will be affected by the changes and how?

In collaborative design processes, it is fairly common to rely on modular workspace hierarchies by capturing reusable fragments as library projects. Such projects need to be maintained carefully, by taking into consideration downstream cross-references when e.g. library updates are committed. Repository-wide change impact analysis can help such maintenance workflows by analyzing dependency chains across all projects, and reporting on model element usages that need to be upgraded.
