Team Development

Helping The Team To Work Better Obsydian also facilitates the smooth transition to object-oriented, client-server development by enabling team programming. Indeed, though most application development tools fail to address the needs of teams, of all sizes, at each stage of the development cycle, Obsydian delivers.

Its configuration management facilities maintain applications that have multiple versions and release levels, different target platforms and different national language implementations.
Obsydian's workgroup repository includes a unique set of sharing, versioning and reconciliation capabilities that eliminate many of the workgroup management headaches common to development projects.
Obsydian's multi-model support enables design information from different application models, customized business objects and class libraries to be shared across projects and teams, eliminating the "reinventing the wheel" syndrome.

Obsydian's repository also enables object classes to inherit from other applications stored in the repository. Corporate standards, business logic and common data structures can be easily managed for a suite of applications without the usual copy and paste techniques, which create an environment impossible to maintain over time. An easy-to-use approach to inheritance makes Obsydian one of the most powerful tools available.

Orchestrating teamwork
Obsydian incorporates a number of features that enable an application development team to work in harmony, without concerns about multiple versions and release levels.
