FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Back CASE tool turns System Requirements into Object Models Melbourne, FL May 23, 2004 Leap Systems announces an advanced requirements engineering CASE tool that produces object-oriented models directly from a system requirements repository or specification (SRS). By translating English into logical models for software development, Leap SE achieves RAD from the source, dramatically shortening the systems analysis phase for software projects. Project managers can reduce their systems engineering staffing needs with Leap SE, while promoting the development of quality requirements. Twenty-one templates and a Requirement Builder are provided for fast and flexible composition. Every time a new requirement is saved, Leap SE’s object model database is updated to reflect the new entities, relationships, attributes and methods. From this database, a directory of header files can be generated at any time to give software engineering a much-needed head start on design. Moreover, it’s just one small step to importing these header files into a reverse-engineering CASE tool to quickly produce a host of class diagrams. As Karl Wiegers writes in Software Testing and Quality Engineering magazine: “The path to quality software begins with excellent requirements. Slighting the processes of requirements development and management is a common cause of software project frustration and failure.” (January/February 2000) Requirements engineering, as a precursor to systems analysis, is critical to program success, and yet remains the weak link on so many software development projects. Applications responsible for maintaining system requirements may be effective for configuration management, linking and importing supplemental data, and even for classifying requirements with various attributes, but they do not accelerate the analysis process. They are not RAD tools. Based on UML, Leap SE uses a unique methodology called Deterministic Phraseology to:
Features include:
By translating the written word into a cohesive set of classes, attributes, methods, relationships, and inheritance hierarchies, Leap SE provides a way to “leap over” a substantial part of the systems engineering effort so crucial to the execution of any software development project.
