Composite states are a good means to bring order and structure to a statechart. However, as a statechart grows, it may easily become too big to give a comprehensive overview of the whole model anymore. Let's have a look at how subdiagrams can help you out. Read more >

Did you know you can style your statecharts with YAKINDU Statechart Tools? For example, it might be useful to highlight certain states by color – especially when dealing with large state machines. You can group states by color and point out semantics by coloring states. Or maybe you want to mark statecharts that need to be reworked by color. Therefore it's our "feature of the month".

In meinem letzten Artikel habe ich euch von Emil erzählt. Er und sein Entwicklerteam kamen mit der Weiterentwicklung in ihrem Projekt nicht mehr weiter. Ihr Modellierungswerkzeug behinderte ihre Arbeit bei der Entwicklung einer selbstregulierenden Steuerung für Ampelsysteme mehr als es sie unterstützte. Weiterlesen >

Neulich traf ich Emil, den erfahrenen Entwickler. Weil er überarbeitet aussah, fragte ich ihn, was denn los sei. Als hätte er darauf gewartet, sprudelte er los: „Es geht nicht mehr, es geht einfach nicht mehr, wir kommen nicht weiter.“ Weiterlesen >

YAKINDU Statechart Tools has a lot of useful features. In this series we present the "feature of the month" that will help you domesticating your maybe exceeding statechart models. Read more >

State machines are used as behavior models. They consist of different so called states. Because the amount of states of a state machine is finite it is called finite state machine (FSM). There are basic types like Mealy and Moore machines and more complex types like Harel and UML statecharts. This article gives a short overview of the common basis and the differences between state machine types. Read more >
