Boost productivity with model-driven development

Modelling is an essential part of the application development process, capturing the business requirements that the application is designed to automate. But often the modelling process is conducted separately from the development process, meaning that as the application is changed, the original requirements are left behind. This white paper explains how Compuware OptimalJ incorporates the modelling process into its Java EE application development environment, allowing developers to operate at a higher level of abstraction and to focus on what to build rather than how to build it. In doing so, OptimalJ increases productivity and ensures that applications more accurately match to business requirements.
