AppMentor Application Development Tool Suite.
Barry Boehm was recently quoted as saying that "eighty-five percent of the
application development process could be automated". AppMentor is one of
the first software solutions on the market to realize this possibility.
AppMentor is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that streamlines
the development and standardization of new software applications targeted
to e-Business environments. This innovative software suite of tools is
designed to reduce an organization's software development time and costs
in order to remain competitive in the New Economy. The traditional
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) comprises four main stages:
Planning; Analysis; Design; and Implementation. Among these four stages,
AppMentor supports the key areas of Design and Implementation.
AppMentor creates the ultimate user-friendly environment for developers
to rapidly construct reusable software components to meet the changing
business needs of enterprise. By combining the most sophisticated software
algorithmic processes with a simple, graphical user interface, AppMentor
shortens or eliminates most of the time-consuming tasks faced by
developers today.
AppMentor was also envisioned to bring developers and end-users closer
together during the prototyping phase, saving countless hours by developing
applications that meet user needs from the very start.
AppMentor thus becomes an essential application development tool suite.
The current release of AppMentor supporting template-based mouse
click-driven environment generates applications automatically in Visual
Basic.
AppMentor makes application building easy:
- Automatically generates application source code once a developer has
selected a UI template and database structure.
- Provides the optimal set of tools for constructing and extending the use
of components across applications via the Component Repository.
- Standardizes application development across personnel and processes.
- Maximizes code reusability.
- Makes customization easy through the UI Composer that updates source code
automatically as the user makes modifications to UI layout and
database-bound components.
- Simplifies the development process by offering predefined UI templates.
- Allows for easy application debugging and editing through the Workbench.
- Easily imports database structures defined with CASE tools, such as Power
Designer.
- Automatically generates program documentation in several "natural"
languages, enabling fellow developers to immediately follow program
logic. (To be implemented.)
