Description

Create more scalable, flexible, and reliable applications faster than ever before.

Embarcadero's Describe is a UML design solution that provides your software development team with immediate visibility into your source code. The product adds a set of powerful visual tools for manipulating code, all directly within your existing development environment. Describe allows you to create blueprints of your software applications, providing a clearer road map for implementation and a shorter learning curve for each developer.
