FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Back Leap SE 2.0 turns System Requirements into Object Models and Data Models, Automatically Leap SE—a CASE tool that generates object models directly from system requirements—now generates a data model as well, dramatically shortening the systems analysis phase of software development projects. Melbourne, FL. August 17, 2004 -- Leap Systems announces Leap SE 2.0, the second release of its CASE tool that converts natural English into object models for software development. The new release features two significant enhancements: data model output in the form of an SQL file, which can be run in a relational database to produce tables, relationships, and integrity constraints; and a new “verbose” option that adds to its object model output to include constructors, destructors, set( ) and get( ) methods, and support for enumerated types. Leap SE not only acts as a repository for “shall” statements that comprise a System Requirements Specification (SRS), it provides a means of generating object-oriented header files directly from those requirements. And now, with Leap SE 2.0, a data model is also produced for a relational view of the system. By translating business rules—expressed in natural English—into a cohesive set of classes, 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. Every time a new requirement is saved, Leap SE’s object model database is automatically updated to reflect the new entities, attributes, methods, and relationships. From this database, a directory of header files can be produced at any time to give software engineering a much-needed head start on design. In addition, it’s just one small step to importing these header files into a reverse-engineering CASE tool to create class diagrams. With Leap SE 2.0, entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) can also be generated from the data model SQL file. Consistency is ensured between the two types of models (object and data) because both derive from the same object model database. Based on the OMG’s Unified Modeling Language (UML), Leap SE uses a unique methodology called Deterministic Phraseology to:
Features include:
Program managers can cut their systems engineering staffing in half with Leap SE, while promoting the development of testable requirements and engaging their software teams much earlier in the systems development lifecycle.
