| Analysis & Specification |
| > |
Intuitive process design tools integrated with Microsoft Visio. Simple diagrams that are used to visually model applications
|
| > |
Prototyping: During the analysis phase application prototypes can be generated with the same look and feel of the final application |
| > |
Quartz Orchestrator executes applications according to the definitions on Quartz analysis diagrams |
| > |
Test cases can be easily derived from diagram definitions and can be directly integrated with best-of-breed test tools like Compuware or Mercury | |
| Development |
| > |
Comprehensive development framework based on .NET technology
|
| > |
Complete development libraries for common development tasks such as tracing, auditing, performance monitoring |
| > |
Quartz follows a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) pattern as it exposes all user-centric process logic as reusable Web Services |
| > |
Quartz architecture establishes out-of-the-box high-quality, high-scalability, high-reusability to all applications developed in this platform | |
| Maintenance |
| > |
First-level troubleshooting is based on production synched documentation that, combined with application tracing and event log, simplifies and fastens the diagnosis process |
| > |
General software operation is inexpensive as all projects share a common base architecture with full Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) integration (e.g., performance counters, event log), common development process and documentation |
| > |
Monitoring and alarm rules can be easily established upon the Quartz Framework instrumentation (WMI). Integrating tools such as Microsoft Operations Manager, HP OpenView or IBM Tivoli, active monitoring and preventive operation is very simple to implement | |
