Amsterdam 29 juni 2004 - Op de eerste dag van JavaOne komt Compuware met de nieuwe versie van OptimalJ, de modelgedreven, op patronen gebaseerde ontwikkelomgeving van Compuware.
OptimalJ 3.2 bevat meer mogelijkheden voor alle fasen van de ontwikkelcyclus. Zo kunnen teams door het modelgedreven testen al vroeg in de ontwikkelcyclus fouten verhelpen. Ook kunnen organisaties met de uitgebreide UML modellerings mogelijkheden een complete systeemanalyse doen.
Daarnaast speelt OptimalJ 3.2 in op de specifieke behoeften van het hele ontwikkelteam. Zo is het met deze nieuwe versie mogelijk om:
- code- en modelgedreven ontwikkeling te integreren;
- het gedrag van applicaties automatisch te modelleren;
- met verschillende teams tegelijkertijd aan verschillende delen van een groot ontwikkelproject te werken.

Compuware Unveils OptimalJ 3.2, Uniting Analysis, Design and Testing
Leading Model-Driven Tool Includes New Features to Enhance Productivity for the Entire Development Team
JavaOne(tm)/ SAN FRANCISCO--June 28, 2004--Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today unveiled the latest version of Compuware OptimalJ, the company's advanced, model-driven pattern-based (MDPB) development environment. New features in Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 further expand the product's coverage across all phases of the development life cycle and enhance OptimalJ's value and usability for all members of the development team.
Development teams use Compuware OptimalJ to generate standards-based applications directly from UML models, greatly speeding application development while improving quality and maintainability. Compuware OptimalJ provides the development team with unparalleled control over the code generation process, ensuring that OptimalJ applications adhere to internal and industry-wide guidelines and best practices for application architecture. Updates to version 3.2 unite analysis, design and testing processes and ensure that large, diverse development teams can consistently architect, build, integrate and maintain high-quality enterprise applications.
"It is mandatory that we become more productive in our application delivery," said Mike Elinski, Associate Vice President Technology and E-Commerce, Health Alliance Plan. "One of our strategies to meet this goal is to adopt tools that help us automate our development process. We selected Compuware OptimalJ because of its proven ability to increase productivity in both development and maintenance. Moreover, OptimalJ's role-based editions enable us to leverage the advanced skills of our experts to make our less-experienced team members more productive."
Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 Meets the Needs of Enterprise-scale Java Development Projects
Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 expands the product's life cycle coverage across all the stages of development--from analysis and design to build and test. This allows enterprises to simplify the process of designing and deploying applications by managing development from a single solution, instead of grappling with multiple, loosely-integrated tools.
"In large-scale enterprise development, the pendulum is starting to swing away from integrating point solutions for application analysis, construction and deployment," said Mark Driver Vice President and Research Director, Gartner. "Customers are looking to build tool suites from a limited number of large vendors with which they can outfit the entire development team.
This strategy alleviates the complexity involved in cobbling together multi-vendor solutions and enables them to more effectively streamline the development process."
OptimalJ 3.2's expanded life cycle coverage now includes:
- Complete system analysis through extended UML modeling
capabilities. Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 provides maximum flexibility by fully supporting UML analysis, allowing customers to completely document system requirements. Organizations can use version 3.2 to design, model, build and deploy from one environment or they can integrate with other UML modeling tools to generate code directly from the models they create.
- Model-driven testing enables teams to detect and repair defects
earlier in the development cycle. Compuware OptimalJ 3.2's unique model-driven testing feature enables developers to automatically generate unit tests from the application's architectural models. Since unit testing is often a very low priority for developers, OptimalJ's ability to automatically create test suites ensures richer, more thorough unit testing even in the tightest development cycles.
Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 is designed to meet the needs of the various roles of large enterprise development teams. By providing specific functionality for architects, senior developers and developers, Compuware OptimalJ enables each role to provide unique value to the development of an application.
Version 3.2 enhances the role-based structure of OptimalJ, making each team member more productive and easing the collaboration between team members
through:
- Eclipse plug-in and new Developer Edition bridge the gap between
code-centric and model-driven development. In order to give developers the flexibility to use familiar tools, Compuware has added Eclipse integration to OptimalJ 3.2 Developer Edition's existing library of integrated development environment (IDE) plug-ins, which includes Borland JBuilder and IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer. To enable organizations to enhance and integrate existing Java applications into OptimalJ development projects, the Developer Edition now ships with native integration with one of the most popular Java IDEs, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. It also includes the award winning profiling capabilities and architectural analysis and refactoring functionality.
- Application behavior modeling means more productive architects and
senior developers. Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 now enables architects and senior developers to model the behavior of an application. By extending code-generation capabilities from structural to behavioral code, OptimalJ
3.2 customers can automatically generate a greater percentage of an application, speeding development cycles, reducing errors and easing
application maintenance.
- Collaboration enhancements boost the productivity of large
development teams. Compuware OptimalJ 3.2's new model-merge capabilities ease collaboration by providing large enterprise development teams with a visual tool to resolve the conflicts that may arise through concurrent development efforts. Version 3.2 also includes a subsystem architecture that allows "sub-teams" to work on different parts of a larger development project. By adding IBM Rational ClearCase support to its existing CVS integration, Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 ensures that all development teams can effectively manage their source code assets.
"The significant updates we've made to Compuware OptimalJ 3.2 address the changing development needs of large enterprises," said Mike Sawicki, Compuware OptimalJ Product Manager. "Java development projects continue to grow in number, size, scope and sophistication. To keep up with the need for industrial development solutions, Compuware OptimalJ continues to evolve as a comprehensive platform that boosts productivity and increases code quality from the first stages of analysis and design through deployment so that enterprise development teams can rapidly deliver applications that are well-architected and standards-based."
Pricing and availability
Compuware OptimalJ, version 3.2, will be available on July 13, 2004 in three
editions:
- Developer Edition Powered by IntelliJ IDEA: Licenses start at
$1,900 per named user.
