Skyway Builder

Skyway Visual Perspectives is a highly advanced Model-Centric development and deployment environment for rapidly delivering SOA-based business solutions and services.  Included with the Skyway Visual Perspectives is Skyway Builder, our patent-pending development solution for developers.  Skyway Builder enables companies to create applications and services entirely within graphical models.  Together with Skyway Director, this delivery environment represents a new paradigm in software development that goes far beyond modeling tools of the past and orchestration tools of today.

With Skyway Visual Perspectives, the constructs and operations for which developers write code are instead represented by graphical models, eliminating most of the manual coding necessary to build enterprise-class web applications.  Unlike traditional modeling tools that only generate skeleton code and still require substantial manual coding, Skyway Builder models all the way down to the logic-modeling and web-modeling layer to eliminate virtually all of the application-supportive code (such as environment setup and linking UI to logic) and most of the business logic.

Key features of Skyway Builder include:

  • Wizard-based discovery of existing web and data services
  • Automatic bundling of third party libraries/APIs
  • Ability to lock models to prevent modification
  • Wrapping services with WSRP at the touch of a button
  • Support for Transactions and database stored procedures
  • Integration with HTML editors, including Adobe Dreamweaver
  • Support for building rich web applications including AJAX and Web 2.0
  • Integration with enterprise security standards
  • Ability to easily incorporate extensive documentation directly into the models

Build Better Solutions Faster

Developers at any level will become proficient with Skyway Builder in a matter of days or weeks.  The use of graphical models typically compresses the design, development and testing phases of solutions by 3x for entry level modelers and up to 10x or more for those proficient at modeling.

Models created in Skyway Builder are stored as metadata which are then passed to Skyway Director for generation of industry standard, highly scalable JEE.

With our latest release of Skyway Visual Perspectives v. 6.0, Java developers and architects gain the delivery ease, extensibility, and familiarity of working with Eclipse to develop and deploy Web Services and Web Applications in Spring. And because they already are knowledgeable of general software delivery techniques, non-Java developers also will gain these benefits in the near future, too, as we expand the functionality of Skyway Visual Perspectives using the Eclipse and Spring Frameworks.
