How to Increase IT Productivity by Combining Models & Patterns

One of the most daunting tasks facing IT managers today is how to complete more application development than ever before, along with quality testing and code maintenance with reduced staff and budgets.

The increasing acceptance of model-driven, pattern-based development (MDPB) is enabling IT departments and organisations to increase the productivity of their application development and maintenance-a critical success factor for today's IT executives according to Edwin Schumacher, product management director of Application Development and Integration Products at Compuware.

"MPDB development is a method of designing software more quickly from a greater level of abstraction, while at the same time improving the quality and reusability of the code," he says.

In his white paper "Delivering the Holy Grail - How to Increase IT Productivity by Combining Models & Patterns", Schumacher says that by coupling accepted model and pattern-based techniques with the powerful new tools available in the marketplace, software architects, developers and IT executives can finally deliver the Holy Grail of productivity gains today.
