Spec score 8.0 #9 of 26 in UML Modeling Software

What it is

BridgePoint is a desktop tool suite for UML model editing, simulated execution, and translation in model-driven development. Built on Eclipse, it combines an editor, the Verifier, and model compilers. The Verifier runs and debugs models with stack tracing, variable views, stepping, and breakpoints. Compilers translate models into implementation languages such as C or SystemC and can conform to standards including IP-XACT, AUTOSAR, and MISRA-C. Modeling constructs provide ways to connect models to existing code and libraries. The Editor, Verifier, and Model Compilers are available under the Apache 2.0 license at no cost. Installable zip builds include the Eclipse and BridgePoint environment, so no prior software is required. BridgePoint supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, and includes class, component, state machine, interaction, activity, use case, sequence, and communication or collaboration diagram types. Nightly builds contain the newest code but are described as the least tested engineering delivery. Production projects can obtain BridgePoint Pro releases and support through a Service Pro contract.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Editor, Verifier, and compilers use Apache 2.0.
  • Verifier supports model debugging with stepping and breakpoints.
  • Compilers target C, SystemC, and listed standards.
  • Install package includes Eclipse and BridgePoint.
  • Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Limits

  • Nightly builds are described as the least tested delivery.
  • Production support requires a Service Pro contract.
  • BridgePoint release builds are created at intervals of at least six months.

Who it suits

BridgePoint suits software and hardware application development and system design using UML and model-driven methods. Production projects that need stability, support, and traceability can consider the Service Pro offering.

Verdict

BridgePoint combines model editing, execution, and code translation in a free Eclipse-based desktop suite. For production work, distinguish the open-source tools from the separately supported Pro releases.
