Details Of Technology Used
Solution Blue Prints Framework-
In order to face the changing business demands, Zensar focuses on use of Solution BluePrint.
Zensar’s Solution BluePrint (SBP) Framework addresses business level requirements analysis with business process modeling and use cases modeling.
It addresses, modeling of the system with UML sequence, collaboration, and state diagrams. Analysis and design of the static structure of the system is covered with the UML class, component and deployment diagrams.
It also addresses the capturing of functionality using ADDL scripting (which is an implementation of OMG’s Action Semantic Specification), design patterns and UML extensions; and also the implementation through automatic generation of source codes in various languages.
SBP Framework uses BluePrint Foundry tool (BPF) which adheres to UML 1.4 standard.
Following are the four major phases which are considered in the SBP framework:
1. Business Process Analysis
2. Modeling of Business Objects
3. Automating Application Generation
4. Iterative Quality Verification
Blue Print Foundry-
BluePrint Foundry is a tool used for creation of solution blueprints or platform independent designs.
These designs are later converted into a platform dependent component. BluePrint Foundry acts as a catalyst between individuals and different domains.
It permits Platform Specific Modelling (PSM) based on the UML diagrams.
BluePrint Foundry (BPF) emphasizes on providing necessary features to automate software development life cycle (SDLC). In addition to this, BluePrint Foundry supports Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), in which inter-operation of Business processes can be solved.
BluePrint Foundry not only enables diagrams based on the UML models but also
generates code from the UML diagrams.
BluePrint Framework addresses business level requirements analysis with UML diagrams; implementation of functionality using platform independent model and implementation through automatic generation of code in the various languages.
BluePrint Foundry focuses on generating readily deployable class, component and controller code across platforms from the platform independent model.
Visual Studio .Net 2005
A comprehensive development environment for professional developers.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition is a complete environment for individual developers building Microsoft Windows, Web, or mobile solutions.
Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition is a comprehensive, high productivity professional development environment (for developers working alone or in small teams) for building high performance, multi-tier applications for Windows, the Web, and mobile devices.
With Visual Studio 2005, professional developers can:
Build high-performance solutions, and interactive Web applications faster than ever with enhanced visual designers and editors.
Easily create and deploy client applications. Automatically publish and maintain applications and their dependencies with integrated Click Once support.
Streamline development of all tiers of application and improve XML editing and XSLT debugging with intuitive visual designers.
Create dynamic, data-enabled applications. Quickly create data-driven applications using an integrated data access, design, and reporting environment.
Take advantage of a powerful, enterprise-class application platform.
Windows XP Professional-
Windows XP is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers.
Window XP Professional sets a new standard for performance and reliability.
It integrates the strengths of Windows 2000 Professional, such as standards-based security, manageability and reliability.
Windows XP Professional is designed for productivity at home,school, or office with improved networking and remote access tools.
ASP.NET 2.0-
Even though intelligent single-use programs are on the rise, most internet traffic for the near to middle-term future will use a generic browser as a front end.
This requires a server to construct a page using the HTML language that browsers understand and can display to a user.
ASP.NET is a web application framework marketed by Microsoft that programmers can use to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services.
It is part of Microsoft's .NET platform and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology.
ASP.NET is a new environment that runs in Internet Information Services (IIS) and makes it much easier for programmers to write code that constructs HTML-based web pages for browser viewing.
ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime, allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any Microsoft .NET language.
Features-
Provides a language-independent way of writing code tying it to web page requests.
It features .NET Web forms, which is event-driven programming model of interacting with controls that makes programming a web page, feel like programming a visual basic form.
It contains good session state management and security features.
It is more robust and contains many performance enhancements over ASP.
SQL Server 2000-
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) produced by Microsoft.
Its primary query language is Transact-SQL, an implementation of the ANSI/ISO standard Structured Query Language (SQL) used by both Microsoft and Sybase.
In order to face the changing business demands, Zensar focuses on use of Solution BluePrint.
