RAD from Requirements: CASE tool turns English into Object Models

Melbourne, FL. July 19, 2004 — Leap SE is a CASE tool specifically designed to translate system-level requirements into logical models of the subject system. The product not only acts as a repository for "shall' statements that comprise a System Requirements Specification (SRS), it also provides a means of generating object-oriented header files directly from those requirements.

By translating business rules—expressed in natural English—into a cohesive set of classes, attributes, methods, relationships, and inheritance hierarchies, Leap SE provides a way to "leap over' a substantial part of the systems engineering effort so crucial to the execution of any software development project.

Every time a new requirement is saved, Leap SE's object model database is updated to reflect the new entities, relationships, attributes and methods. From this database, a directory of header files can be generated at any time to give software engineering a much-needed head start on design. In addition, it's just one small step to importing these header files into a reverse-engineering CASE tool to quickly produce a host of class diagrams.

Based on UML, Leap SE uses a unique methodology called Deterministic Phraseology. This methodology:

- produces models without any additional effort beyond entering requirements
- automatically converts business rules—expressed in English—into logical object models
- enforces the creation of build-able and testable requirements for sell-off
- exposes inconsistencies and ambiguity among system requirements

Features include:

- 21 templates for quick and easy composition
- Builder for creating complex requirements
- Model growth with every saved requirement
- Instant object model generation from SRS
- Integrated queries and template examples
- A complete repository for your system specifications

Program managers can cut their systems engineering staffing in half with Leap SE, while promoting the development of quality requirements. Twenty-one templates and a Requirement Builder are provided for fast and flexible composition.
