EA Connector for Trac
(About integration with EA and Redmine, please see EA Connector for Redmine page.)
Integration with Enterprise Architect and Trac
Trac is a web-based/open source tool for software project management and bug tracking. Taking advantages of a web-based tool, Trac enables many people via network to have discussions about a topic "ticket" from various view points and to refer the discussions in list form. On the other hand, Enterprise Architect works very well when displaying the base or result of discussions in structured images. With these characteristics, it is possible to utilize the following information by relating Trac tickets to Enterprise Architect elements and enabling them to convert each attribute interactively.
- Utilize Trac's ticket information in Enterprise Architect
- Export Enterprise Architect elements to Trac tickets for discussions and publicity
We expect EA Connector for Trac to be used in the following situations.
- Discussion on Enterprise Architect elements by Trac
- Information passing on the development items, based on the designs of Enterprise Architect (ticket driven development)
- Utilize extensively collected Trac tickets to the designs by Enterprise Architect
- Showing the relationships (TracLinks) between Trac tickets via Enterprise Architect diagrams
- And so on...
In these situations, EA Connector for Trac easily converts information between Enterprise Architect and Trac.
