The best
applications are the ones that directly mirror the
fluctuating processes, structures and forms that are
unique to a business - rather than those that provide a
"cookie cutter" approach with mere cosmetic
customization. That's why Obsydian uses an application
model as the foundation for application development.
Indeed, the very same business rules identified and
captured at the beginning of the development cycle appear
as logic in the generated applications at the end of the
cycle. Using standard modeling techniques, such as
entity-relationship and process/function, developers and
end-users first work closely at a high level of
abstraction - at the business rule level, not the
programming level. The developer then moves ahead,
further refining the business rules and application
requirements needed to accurately address the needs of
the business. At this stage, Obsydian's extensive library of business objects and code generators are used to translate the application model into executable applications. This seamless process enables developers to enhance the application continually and iteratively, making changes and having them easily propagate from design model to generated code.
