Keep Development Moving with Round-Trip Engineering

Posted on by Author Jeremy Jordan in Categories ObjectStudio, Windows-CentricTags , ,

ObjectStudio® is the first—and only—Windows 7 certified Smalltalk environment. For customers needing to build applications that cleanly fold into a Microsoft-centric infrastructure, ObjectStudio is the best choice. ObjectStudio is a Windows-specific platform that is oriented toward building client applications that need good connectivity to databases, and we now ship a database mapping tool and a modeling tool as part of the product.

One of the benefits of using object-oriented programming is quick development times and aggressive refactoring, especially during initial development.  But keeping a relational database in-sync with these rapid changes is a major challenge.  Round-trip engineering in ObjectStudio helps automate that process and keep the development moving.

Once an application is rolled-out, it is difficult for new users to understand the complex functionality. With ObjectStudio, any changes to the model are automatically reflected in the code. This means that you always have access to a current business model of the application. Using a current visual, and easy-to understand model, your business analysts, training and support team and IT staff can better understand your complex enterprise applications and be productive in less time.
