OVERVIEW OVERVIEW
VisualAge is an application development environment and suite of
power tools that introduce technologies to unlock the complex world
of application development in a client/server environment. These
technologies are based on a visual construction-from-components
architecture and enable the development of the client portion of
client/server applications with very complex GUIs.
Developers are confronted by ever-changing user requirements
and a growing user base. This combination necessitates an integrated
development environment with a robust suite of tools, so applications
can be developed rapidly. Within its object-oriented development
environment, VisualAge provides visual programming. This technology
enables developers to work with end users in an iterative manner to
develop user interfaces and accurately capture changing user
requirements.
The reuse of proven designs and stable code is one element of
object-oriented programming that puts real power into the users'
hands and VisualAge provides many opportunities for reuse. VisualAge
was developed using VisualAge itself. This assures that the design
and code supplied with VisualAge were tested and optimized. The
ability to reuse existing code reduces development cycle time and
drastically reduces errors because many of the components can be
reused without change.
Object-oriented technology is emerging as the most promising
avenue to solve the rightsizing and client/server challenges of the
future. VisualAge utilizes this technology to simplify the
development of applications for OS/2 in a graphical environment
using construction from components. Additionally, more experienced
developers have the benefit of the underlying IBM Smalltalk language,
including an integrated suite of productivity tools such as editors,
browsers, debuggers, and inspectors. VisualAge Team adds team
programming capabilities to the environment, multiplying the value
derived from the technologies. These two products enable developers
of various skill and experience levels to create mission-critical,
client/server applications. VisualAge opens the door to these
technologies, and over time, IBM plans to address additional
development environments and expand its communications and database
access capabilities.
DESCRIPTION
VisualAge supports an iterative application development
approach for dealing with today's complex, mission-critical, GUI,
client/server workstation applications.
The VisualAge product set provides an architecture and a rich
set of application-enabling functions that support application
construction from reusable components, including legacy third
generation language (3GL) and fourth generation language (4GL)
elements. VisualAge provides visual GUI development capabilities so
that complex CUA (TM)-compliant screens can be built quickly and
easily. VisualAge also provides the protocols that enable the GUI
front-ends to run with newly created object-oriented applications or
with pre-existing applications.
Graphical user interfaces and line-of-business applications
can be developed with VisualAge in a highly productive environment,
using the rapid prototyping, prototyping-to-production and code reuse
capabilities of object-oriented programming. The applications
developed with VisualAge provide end users with easy-to-use graphical
displays for their workstations.
IBM Smalltalk, the language used to write VisualAge, can be
used as a scripting language or as a complete programming language.
Developers can then choose the level that supports the desired
development effort. For example, existing components can be combined
through the visual programming interface, existing components can be
modified through the scripting language, or completely new components
can be created in native IBM Smalltalk.
VisualAge provides an open architecture via published
interfaces. Through this approach, components created by the
customer can easily be added to the development environment. This
approach also encourages others to create GUI development tools and
support tools (communications, database access, legacy code access
and class libraries) that work with VisualAge.
ENABLE CUSTOMER'S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
VisualAge provides value to the customer by enabling developers to be
more productive through ease of use, providing improved quality and
maintainability through reuse of code, and facilitating the
development of complex graphical user interfaces. VisualAge also
provides a natural evolution from prototyping into production.
Less experienced users can become productive very quickly,
because the levels of abstraction in VisualAge remove the need to
understand databases and communication protocols. Users who are not
literate in object-oriented programming can develop significant
applications without moving into the underlying code. With this
capability, the user can develop the client portion of very
sophisticated client/server applications much more quickly than with
traditional application development tools, providing higher quality
and lower maintenance costs. More experienced users may choose to
access the underlying object-oriented code and create components that
can be reused.
TIME TO MARKET
VisualAge supports logical separation of the client from the server,
simplifying interface design and implementation, and provides
high-level abstractions that hide the interface to the network
protocols. This functionality results in the client portion of
client/server applications being built in less time with higher
quality and lower cost. Customers will be able to respond more
quickly to changes in the marketplace due to shorter lead times for
application development. Such responsiveness is a key factor in the
choice of developers for many applications.
APPLICATION DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY
VisualAge provides significant customer value in application
development by enabling developers to improve their productivity in
work effort and elapsed time, from the use of graphical screen
generation functions and reuse of existing components. VisualAge
also enables easy development of the client portion of a
client/server application. Prototyping and evolution of the user
interface can occur without requiring changes to the programming of
the underlying business objects or full development of the business
logic.
The productivity achievable by the developer encourages the
reimplementation of applications, particularly those that can benefit
most from a CUA '91 user interface.
IMPROVED APPLICATION QUALITY
Design via prototyping enables developers to work iteratively with
end users to ensure applications meet requirements, avoiding
misunderstanding and rework. The reuse of components is encouraged
in this methodology, resulting in applications based on previously
tested code.
The iterative design and development approach leads to synergy
and creativity within the customer/developer team and higher customer
satisfaction with the resultant application than is typical with
traditional development paradigms. This interaction also ensures
that the resulting application is what the customer wants and needs,
dramatically reducing fixes and rework and, therefore, end-user false
starts and inefficient use of the application.
VISUAL PROGRAMMING
VisualAge enables application development based on a
construction-from-components architecture. This approach provides an
integrated "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) user interface
tool that permits the user to select interface parts from a palette,
size and align them as appropriate, and iteratively view the results
as the interface is built. Either during or after this brief
development process, developers may build the application by
selecting from a palette the sources and targets to populate or
receive information from the interface. The information may come
from, or be targeted for, a database, a communications link or some
external source such as another application program. VisualAge
generates the code to support the links established between sources
and targets and the user interface. Also, visual construction
enables people with widely varying skill levels to develop
applications. Those with little, or no, programming skills can
easily create applications using existing components. Programmers
with more experience have the additional option of creating new
components.
IBM SMALLTALK DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
In addition to using the set of interactive tools and application
support functions that VisualAge provides, developers may also write
application code in IBM Smalltalk, the native scripting language in
which VisualAge is implemented. IBM Smalltalk benefits application
developers by:
o Enabling portability across platforms
o Eliminating low-level programming skills requirements, such as
pointers and memory management
o Facilitating reuse
LIBRARY SUPPORT AND TEAM PROGRAMMING
VisualAge Team provides version control, change management, and
library functions while enabling multiple developers to work on the
same application simultaneously. This capability enables the
division of function among developers, code reuse optimization, and
faster development cycles.
In addition, sharing components helps ensure that all
developers are working on a single, common base, facilitates the
integration of change into the development process, and promotes
reuse of pretested stable code rather than rewriting it.
VisualAge provides value in the following areas:
o Legacy code reuse
VisualAge enables the customer to protect investments in
legacy applications and data. VisualAge parses C and COBOL
source files to create object representations for the existing
data structures. VisualAge also allows access to any language
that supports native operating system DLLs. Existing code may be
integrated into a new application's development environment and
subsequent client/server applications, protecting the investment
in the old applications and data. Repeated reuse decreases the
cost of each successive application, thereby increasing the value
of the reusable code.
o Improved code stability
A library of pretested, stable code modules leads to more
stable applications initially and, therefore, less risk in
extending those applications in the future. Applications and
systems become far less volatile resulting in a more stable
environment for growth and less maintenance.
PRODUCT POSITIONING
VisualAge is a product set of object-oriented application development
power tools for dealing with today's complex, mission-critical, GUI,
client/server workstation applications. VisualAge introduces the
construction-from-components paradigm, which eases the migration to
object-oriented technology. VisualAge offers ready-built components
enabling developer productivity without object-oriented skills, yet
offers extensibility for those who are building object-oriented
skills.
VisualAge can also be used to develop database applications
for DB/2 (R), DB2/2 (TM), Oracle**, Sybase** and SQL Server.
VisualAge Team and IBM's ENVY**/400 product are complementary,
with ENVY/400 targeted at customers who need complete integration
with AS/400 (R) data and services.
VisualAge is positioned with the IBM Cross System Product
(CSP) as a complementary application development power tool. CSP is
a procedural, 4GL tool for building the client/server portions of
applications.
VisualAge is also positioned with Highpoint as a complementary
application development tool, refer to Software Announcement 293-604,
dated October 12, 1993. Highpoint is a workstation-based,
procedural, 4GL tool for COBOL audiences and customers moving from
host-based application development to workgroups. Highpoint targets
customers who want to build on existing procedural skills and who
prefer a single product for developing the client and server portions
of applications.
The VisualAge object-oriented technology provides visual GUI
development capabilities so that complex CUA-compliant screens can be
built quickly and easily. VisualAge's open architecture enables
these GUI front-ends to run with new and existing applications.
VisualAge provides an open architecture via published
interfaces. This approach encourages others to create GUI
development tools and support tools (communications, database access,
legacy code access and class libraries) that work in the VisualAge
environment and provide additional value to our customers.
The integrated VisualAge environment includes:
o Visual programming
o Database and legacy code access
o Communications access
o Multimedia support
o IBM Smalltalk language
IBM continues to actively work with the industry to build a
set of standards for Smalltalk development.
