Is there an option to integrate an application to Enterprise Architect to then generate sequence diagrams automatically?
I so not mean to record a sequence diagram from debugger. I mean integrating EA to an EXE application.
Any material on this topic would be appreciated!
No, what you are asking for would require the code to be de-compiled to the appropriate language and then have EA reverse engineer.

I am new to Jubula.Struggling hard to understand the flow of Jubula.
1)can anyone tell me what is the difference between jubula's toolkits (RCP,SWING,SWT,javafx)??
These are the user interface technologies supported by it; your AUT needs to be written using one of these technologies in order to be able to test it with Jubula.
They are all bundled with the default installation and you can choose between them when creating a new project.
I have an application made of multiple microservices. I would like to visualize it for newer developer to understand the flow chart.
In some previous experiences, I have seen people draw flowchart like this one below.
Question: What is this kind of flow chart called?
Is there any software tool that can draw it?
flow chart
Use https://www.planttext.com/ for creating the flowchart, You need to first understand the syntax for creating the flowchart.
This diagram is called "sequence diagram". You can use https://www.zenuml.com for creating sequence diagram. It comes with a super-developer-friendly syntax and is real-time.

This diagram is called "Sequence Diagram". You can learn about its annotation at IBM Rational site
You can use tools like Visual Paradigm to draw it. They have a community version for non-commercial use.
I want to generate C++ code from a State Diagram (Harrel FSM) and I'm wondering whether this is possible with EA, and if, how to go about generating code.
I've followed the example at Sparx: Generate From Behavioral Models, but when I look at the generated code it consists of skeleton code that does not include any state transitions etc. I've seen an example of assumedly code generated by EA in their online help, so it does seem to be possible, but I cannot find any concrete examples of how.
Could anyone give me some direction? Thanks.
Are you able to generate behavioral code from the examples in the EAExample model?
If not, you'll need to confirm which edition of Enterprise Architect you are using. Code generation from behavioral models such as State Machines is only available in the Business and Software Engineering, Systems Engineering and Ultimate editions of EA.
Can anyone suggest good diagrams/modeling techniques for business process modeling? I was thinking about using activity diagram but the process includes quite a lot of forks and secondly, activity digram may be somewhat difficult to understand to non-technical users.
Sequence diagram is rather similar but what other tools are there? DFD?
For me UML activity or BPMN modelling would be the best way.
Sequence diagram is more appropriate for sequence representation not flow specially with a lot of forks.
There are also the Eriksson-Penker UML extensions. Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems supports these as well as BPMN; I don't know what sort of support other tools provide.
I have a UML deployment diagram for a certification test that requires it be UML compliant.
The UML tool I used for creating my deployment diagram did not have 3D rectangles I could use for a application server in my diagram, so I used a "flat (2D)" rectangle to represent my app server.
Should I be alright using a flat rectangle as my app server?
In terms of visual layout yes, you're fine with a 2D rectangle because the UML specifications does not in fact specify these layouts and if you read the spec you'll see they've used very basic drawing tools there.
However, in order to ensure your diagram is UML compliant you do need a fully-featured UML tool. A simple drawing tool, such as MS Visio, won't cut it. There's a good list of UML tools on Wikipedia.
