Reducing Development Time with Process

The Foundation Suite platform dramatically simplifies the development of complex web applications. XML-based Application Definitions replace the compile/build/debug/deployment model of other approaches. By eliminating this complexity, the platform delivers efficiencies from prototype to full software lifecycle management. The table below illustrates these advantages in a sample application scenario in comparison to implementation using traditional Java/J2EE tools.

Component	Standard Web Development using Java-Based Tools	Development using the BrickSimple Foundation Suite
Functional Specification	Establish functional workflow and roles Identify application screens and navigation Business Rules and Supporting Logic Associate data flow and API requirements
Detailed Design	Identification of JSP pages Supporting Tag Libraries API/EJB implementation Application Look and Feel Application Navigation Implement Application Security Create required JavaScript/DHTML	Key Data and Relationships Identify specialized actions and rules List of required application definitions
Application Implementation	Create common look/feel code Implement tag libraries Develop EJB API interface Create JSP pages for functions Compile/Deploy EJBs Java application debugging First fully functional application screen is 6-8 weeks from start.	Create Application Definitions Create/Bind specific API actions Selection/Creation of application skin First fully functional application screen within 2 weeks of project start
Integrate Client Feedback, Repeat as appropriate	Update JSP source Update EJB source Compile/Deploy EJBs, JSP Debug code updates Evaluate application functionality	Update Applications Definition XML Evaluate application functionality
Deployment	Compilation of code Create deployment packages Deployment descriptors	Copy Application Definition XML
Maintenance, Updates and Changes to the application	Update JSP source Update EJB source Compile/Deploy EJBs, JSP Debug code updates Evaluate application functionality Coordinate impact of code updates	Update Applications Definition XML Evaluate application functionality Copy files to production environment

Our unique development process begins with work flow, versus beginning with the data model and working back to work flow. As work flow is defined in support of business process, Foundation Suite creates fields in an XML database used for prototyping and early evolution of the application. This enables us to deliver working versions of the software early and often, and integrate user feedback throughout the process versus near the end of the development cycle. Developers are equipped with an Eclipse plug-in to organize and optimize the data model, which is refined toward the end of the development cycle to meet performance and reporting requirements.
