Benefit
|
|
Screen & Report definition |
Define and specify the requirements of each screen & report in your systems.
|
The user can view the results before the software is constructed, increasing the certainty
of the final result.
|
|
Constructor
|
Create
Screens
and
Reports
reports easily and fast.
|
Define captions, field type and alignment in one step, reducing definition time.
|
|
Detailed functional definition
|
For each field is defined its characteristics and detailed its functionality.
|
When defines in early stages the detailed functionality, you are assuring the project
success.
|
|
Complex functionality
|
Define easily lookups, master-details, grids, grouped reports.
|
Define real-life functionality effortless.
|
|
Central documentation
Repository

Include all the related files from the project in a sole file.
|
The project management and documentation is easily archived with
xpecgen™.
|
|
Screen show
|
Show the screens & reports like a presentation.
|
Demonstrate one by one the process and the final result of the project before the
codification, identifying probable definition error in early stages.
|
|
Prototype
|
The user can navigate through the system and validate the process in design stage.
|
The user can access the functionality freely, identifying probable definition error
in early stages.
|
|
Live
Emulation
|
Once that the system is defined, the end user can use and capture data before the
system is constructed.
|
The user lives the system experience and detects inconsistencies and lack of features
before the programming stage, reducing time to market, increasing the success probability
and increasing quality. Dramatically reduces ambiguities because the end user knows and uses the software before it's totally
constructed.
|
|
Database Definition
|
Define the database from the screens and reports, avoiding retyping this information.

In xpecgen™ with a single click you can create the database, reducing errors and time.
|
|
Reverse Engineering
|
Your legacy database structure is used to generate screens and reports.
|
Reduce the obsolescence, because you do not need to rewrite the entire database
definition. You only double click at a
table definition from your legacy database and generate master-detail screen and
reports.
|
|
Documentation
|
Formal and flexible documentation of your entire software project in a single click.
|
Do not re-type all the definitions and processes again. In just one click you have
the full documentation of the project and
exportable to popular formats to redistribute among the people involved.
|
|
Control the
resources
and time to spend to construct the software project
|
Define to xpecgen™ your programmers' name and photo, then define for each screen
and report the time he/she will takes to construct.
|
You can measure, in early stages, your needs in time and people, to accomplish the software project deadline.
