A complete package of tools for application development, HP SoftBench gives developers the resources they need for the entire software lifecycle - giving them the ability to deliver their software on time and on budget.
SoftBench combines a new, innovative Project-based software development model, an easy-to-use graphical interface (GUI), and a robust set of integrated tools for addressing the needs of today's professional HP-UX developers. SoftBench's innovative Project Model reduces complexity by allowing developers to organize their work in an intuitive fashion. It provides the "behind-the-scenes" data that links the SoftBench tools together and provides common data that all the SoftBench tools use. The Project Model's Build Tool delivers all the capabilities found in today's "makefiles" while hiding the inherent complexity of makefiles. However, if your organization is dependent upon makefile-based builds, SoftBench's Project Model gives you the flexibility of continuing to use them. SoftBench's easy-to-use GUI hides the complexity of UNIX so developers can focus on creating the business logic that differentiates their software. The bottom line: SoftBench lets developers "work the way they think."
