Interactive Development Environments Inc, San Francisco, California, has put its Software through Pictures analysis, design, modelling and testing tools up on Digital Equipment Corp Alpha systems, where they will link to DEC’s ObjectBroker Object Request Broker for designing and developing distributed object systems. Software through Pictures will now automatically generate ObjectBroker Interface Definition Language and C++ code from both StP/OMT and StP/Booch models. The company claims it is the first tool that will enable software developers to seamlessly and automatically integrate elements of OMT and Booch object-oriented analysis and design methods. StP/OMT and StP/Booch are priced at $12,000. It has also integrated its Software through Pictures analysis, design and code generation tools with Atria Software Inc’s ClearCase configuration management and version control system. The firm is also expected to show up at Object World this week with an early Windows version of its software.
