Interactive Development Environments Inc introduced a new version of its Software Through Pictures development environment for business process re-engineering called Stp for BPR. It is designed to support large development teams and uses a common, multi-user repository of system models. The repository also supports libraries of re-usable business rules, application objects and database components, the company says. The tool features Object-Entity Interchange, enabling developers to share business models and components across an enterprise. The company has integrated StP for BPR with its existing products, including support for Booch’s Object Modeling Technology method, and the firm’s test case tool. Available now, it is priced at $30,000.
