John K. Waters of Application Development Trends covers CA´s move to enter the MDD arena.
CA’s latest release of its Plex rapid application development environment now lets developers model and generate Microsoft .NET-based services based on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
Plex is a multiplatform, model-driven development (MDD) environment that includes architectural and design objects known as patterns, which can reduce the need to code repeatable elements in applications. Islandia, N.Y.-based CA, a supplier of IT management software, announced its latest version, Plex 6.1, on Tuesday. (…)
A growing number of vendors, large and small, are offering MDD tools and frameworks, including IBM (with its acquisition of Telelogic), Intelliun, and Mendix. For its part, CA offers four MDD tools: Plex; 2E; Gen, a dev environment for high-performance business applications; and Aion Business Rules Expert, a rules-based application development tool.
Other improvements to the Plex 6.1 release include easy viewing and documenting of group model updates, improved APIs for extending the Plex environment programmatically, and IPv6 support. More information on Plex can be accessed at CA’s site here.
