Development platform

Development platforms that dominate today are Microsoft’s .NET and Sun’s JAVA. We are using Microsoft’s .NET platform.

Development tools

The most popular development tool for .NET platform is Microsoft Visual Studio (MS VS). Other tools which are used within the development platform are MS VS packages (components which are executable in MS VS environment).

Why MS Visual Studio?

Integration with MS VS makes adaptation of development teams to our platform and tool much easier. MS VS reduces the amount of time needed for development of new tools. Some companies decided to develop their tools independently, which proved to reduce usability and integration with other technologies.

The future of MS Visual Studio

Development of Domain Specific Language - (DSL) enabled implementation of tools that work with UML or BPMN diagrams. This means that MS VS is not going to be only programming tool, but also a tool that analysts, project managers and information systems architects use.
