Telelogic's Tau 3.1 is for Model-Driven SOA and Enterprise Application Development

Software developers can more rapidly respond to the dynamic needs for enterprise applications with Telelogic Tau 3.1, which was announced today by Telelogic (Nordic Exchange/MidCap/TLOG).This new version of the company’s popular model-driven development (MDD) solution makes it easier to design and develop comprehensive service architectures and Web services for enterprise applications including those in IT, telecom, defense, finance and transportation.

“Enterprise IT applications are expanding in their capabilities, scope, and complexity at an astonishing rate. Government-mandated programs like IT Modernization depend on the ability to rapidly deploy, update, and manipulate the applications used to effectively implement distributed Web services,” says Stephen Hendrick, Group Vice President of IDC, Inc. “Model-driven SOA provides them the formal toolset they need to develop and manage these programs in an efficient, profitable, and provable manner.”

Building on the model-driven SOA infrastructure support announced by the company late last year, Telelogic Tau 3.1’s unique approach to enterprise application development supports the company’s commitment to support enterprise-wide SOA-enabled workflow. Developers benefit from an architecture-focused approach, which includes executable models that simulate application functionality and behavior from the very beginning of the lifecycle. This allows efficient design and highlights flaws and errors early on when they are cheaper and easier to correct. This model visually depicts the application’s architecture and deployable software code as one entity, which may be thoroughly tested and edited at every stage of the development process
