Engineering
Albalog SrlVisual dBsee www.VisualdBsee.com
C.A.S.E. softwares are dedicated to the designing, creation and generation of other applications.
Integration between Databases (Data Dictionaries) and applications (Forms and Reports)
In a C.A.S.E. environment, the application logic no longer resides in the source code, but in the CASE data structure (Data Repository)
Team Development and Applications maintenance optimization.
Standardization and independence from the source code from the programmer who generated it
Why Use Visual dBsee Visual dBsee is a C.A.S.E. environment created
expressly for the creation of business management applications.
Visual dBsee www.VisualdBsee.com Albalog Srl
Visual dBsee is the only RAD/C.A.S.E. instrument created expressly for the compiler Alaska Xbase++.
The possibility to personalize the code (with code injection and reverse engineering) and to change the applicative logic (Templates) leaves the project leader(s) free to make better case-based decisions
