Computer Horizons Unveils Reviewer For Rose

Princeton Softech announces the immediate availability of Reviewer for Rose, the first and only Web-based UML design review tool for Rational Rose.

This powerful, enterprise-scale design review technology improves the Rose product offering by speeding application development, ensuring higher quality designs and providing ongoing design mentoring. Princeton Softech is a subsidiary of Computer Horizons Corp that provides enabling software for developing and deploying high-performance eBusiness solutions.

Reviewer for Rose offers unique capabilities that ensure the quality and consistency of object-oriented designs created with Rational Rose. Reviewer for Rose reviews standards, accuracy, completeness, style and componentization, based upon the UML designs within Rational Rose, vastly simplifying the design review process and typically reducing design time by 10 to 20%.

"As companies move at the speed of eBusiness, IT departments depend upon fast, efficient application development," explains Roger Sparks, vice president of marketing, Princeton Softech. "Applications must meet business needs and must be delivered on time. In June 2000 we launched Reviewer for Select Enterprise, which has saved our customers both time and money in their component-based development projects. The savings were so significant that we made the decision to implement and release the product for Rational Rose, enabling Rose developers to benefit from some of the time-to-market improvements and quality assurance that Princeton Softech customers currently realize."

"Reviewer for Rose condenses design reviews from days to minutes, reducing development costs and speeding development efforts," said Hedley Apperly, senior product marketing manager, Princeton Softech. "Moreover, the product's comprehensive reviews enable designers to uncover design deficiencies and improve the design before moving to construction. This yields exponential savings later on and improves application performance and usability."

"Reviewer for Rose is yet another pragmatic innovation from Princeton Softech," states Apperly. "It is a design integrity tool that offers immediate benefits to Rational Rose users involved in Object-Oriented UML design, such as the ability to document and communicate design standards. This means that Project Managers don't need to spend as much time mentoring the design staff, and there will be consistency between designs and designers."

Reviewer for Rose is an invaluable tool to all project managers and designers, and does not require any prior knowledge of Rational Rose. It employs a Web browser interface, so that project managers can readily see the quality and completeness of an application, while designers can continually verify the integrity of the design as they contribute to the model. In addition, Reviewer for Rose offers clear and concise mentoring for designers, ensuring that any problem encountered can be fixed.

Reviewer for Rose includes over 50 highly configurable UML design reviews; browser and HTML look and feel; management and designer summary reports providing information about design deficiencies; proof of design-time deliverables; detailed design reports outlining errors, including the consequences of not fixing them and proposed solutions; and automated HTML documentation of design standards. Reviewer for Rose is priced at $995 per seat. More information about Reviewer for Rose is available at the Princeton Softech Web site.
