Agile Business Suite builds business-critical, transaction-oriented solutions using industry-popular and industry-standard technology.
AB Suite comprises two major components
AB Suite Developer that lets you define and then generates components for Microsoft .NET framework and ClearPath MCP operating environments.
AB Suite Runtime for each of the supported platforms.
AB Suite Developer is implemented within the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) framework. It includes tools for designing, developing, testing, generating, and deploying applications. Using AB Suite Developer is different from using EAE Developer. However, an AB Suite Runtime system retains the same behavior as in EAE.
The AB Suite development environment includes:
System Modeler – for modeling information systems
Debugger – for testing systems modeled in System Modeler
Builder – for generating and deploying these systems
Version Control tools (provided by third-party software or VS Source Control Package) – for version management of models and model elements
System Modeler is part of the AB Suite Development Environment. Like EAE Developer, AB Suite is a model-based tool for developing information systems.
