Define applications with your stakeholders and avoid risks
Factory Server dashboard The dashboard provides a set of panels that help speed up the most common actions. It has a panel that lets one upload a project directly into a repository folder, another one that displays the list of locked projects and a third one that shows the deployed prototypes. |
|
Workspace Workspace contains the repository tree and holds most of the functionality the system provides. Usually, it lists the prototypes of a folder and each element offers a set of available actions depending on its state. |
|
Configure your prototypes' repositories Create repositories and manage prototype's access control through permissions and roles. Register Databases and Application Servers to publish your prototypes. |
|
Test and annotate Publish and share your prototypes with your users, customers and developers. They can test and annotate them with a web browser over the Internet. |
Collaborate validating user requirements in a web environment
Reduce risks and costs through test-driven software validation
Involve your stakeholders effectively in a collaborative environment to test the feasibility and completeness of their needs. Save your project's stakeholders' time and money during the requirements definition and validation phase.
Bridge the communication gap between business and IT
Improve communication in your applications definition
Outsorced software development projects fail due to the communication barrier between geographically dispersed teams with heterogenous skills. Communicate your ideas clearly on a visual and interactive support to leave no room for doubt and misinterpretation. Factory Server reduces dramatically the risks inherent in outsourced or off shored projects.
