Together WebSphere Studio Edition. (Tools).Together WebSphere Studio Edition extends IBM's development platform with modeling and productivity features offered as part of the TogetherSoft family of products including Together ControlCenter, providing an end-to-end development platform by integrating the analysis, design, implementation, testing and deployment of complex enterprise applications. It uses the development capabilities of the original Together ControlCenter, including its simultaneous round-trip engineering Round-trip engineering is a functionality of software development tools that provides generation of models from source code and generation of source code from models; this way, existing source code can be converted into a model, be subjected to software engineering methods and then , maintaining real-time synchronisation Noun 1. synchronisation - the relation that exists when things occur at the same time; "the drug produces an increased synchrony of the brain waves" synchroneity, synchronicity, synchronism, synchronization, synchronizing, synchrony between models and code. This enables WebSphere Studio modelers, architects and developers to collaborate across modeling and code development disciplines reducing development time and improving the quality of enterprise class applications. It also utilises ControlCenter's support for popular development methodologies, including the Unified Process The Unified Software Development Process or Unified Process is a popular iterative and incremental software development process framework. The best-known and extensively documented refinement of the Unified Process is the Rational Unified Process or RUP. , and agile processes such as Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD (1) Abbreviation for floppy disk drive. See floppy disk. (2) (Frequency Division Duplexing) A transmission method that separates the transmitting and receiving channels with a guard band (some amount of spectrum that acts as a buffer or insulator). ), and others. Other benefits include: * Reducing the learning curve and development time with WebSphere integration. The user interface has been designed to have the look and feel of IBM's WSS WSS Windows Sharepoint Services (Microsoft) WSS Web Services Security (OASIS) WSS Wavelength Selective Switch (Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) to promote developer uptime, productivity and rapid application development. * Uses UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. modeling to build the correct architecture to meet business objectives. TWSE extends the WSS framework by integrating UML modeling capabilities to simplify the complex process of building software. UML profiles and all of the major UML diagrams are supported to extend UML to specific markets and technologies while providing a framework for building a solid architecture to use for current and future projects. Enable more effective team communication and collaboration with synchronised Adj. 1. synchronised - operating in unison; "the synchronized flapping of a bird's wings" synchronized synchronal, synchronic, synchronous - occurring or existing at the same time or having the same period or phase; "recovery was synchronous with therapy"- models and code. Simultaneous synchronisation eliminates manual updating of models and keeps development teams on the same page. Models enable efficient collaboration when scaling projects and keep all developers talking the same language. * Keeps the team focused on design and implementation, not documenting. Automated documentation provides important project documentation when needed without disrupting development teams. * Improves architectural quality by starting development with standard patterns. TWSE supports industry standard patterns such as GoF and J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. while also providing the ability to modify existing patterns and create new patterns. Pattern support enables teams to undertake reuse on future projects and improve architectural quality on all projects. * Measures quality during development and fixes mistakes before they become expensive problems. Comprehensive unit testing (testing) unit testing - The type of testing where a developer (usually the one who wrote the code) proves that a code module (the "unit") meets its requirements. , audits, and metrics find mistakes early in development and enable teams to improve quality without jeopardizing time to market. Productivity will be increased by running audits on code in development and fixing problems early in development. In addition, audits can be saved and reused on future projects. * Saves time by automatically generating J2EE applications from model and code. J2EE support in class diagrams allows visual design and deployment of J2EE applications. Patterns enable new J2EE elements to be created quickly. In addition, after the application logic is added, J2EE components can be deployed from the model into WebSphere. www.togethersoft.com. |
