Assessment
Studio is a tool family for the automatic assessment of documents, models and
information within databases, appliable in the entire developing process. The
innovation of this product-range is the cross-platform assessment of data, in
regards to e.g. consistency and compliance. Starting with required documents
and behaviour-, simulation- and software-models, all the way to the test
specification. Assessment Studio allows a standard-compliant process of
securing quality (Quality Chain), across tools or tool-specificically
customized (as a plug-in or server, e.g.).
Rule-based
assessment
- Automatic check of all XML-data
or SQL-databases
- Tool-specific data is converted
into XML-standard while checking
- Databases: Gathers additional
data from databases for the check
- Multiple documents: a dynamic
checking across various documents is made possible
- Exceptions: commenting on
elements, that are not to be checked
- Error-tracing (highlighting):
allows an instant tracing of errors in tools/data
- Cross-tool: accomplishes a
comprehensive check of various artefacts
- Even at night-time, the server-version
reliably checks much quantitive data

Rule-based
transformation
- Data filter: preparation of the
data that is to be checked, before the actual check
- Linking: collecting of
logically linked fragments before the check
- Partitioning: Dividing the data
in partitions prior to the check
- Abstraction: tool-independent
application of a guideline concerning various artefacts
- Auto correction: automatic
improvement of the assessed data after the check

Automatic reporting
- Dynamic report: generated
documentation of the check’s results
- Reporthead (checker, time,
department), statistic summary, content
- Export of the report for
archiving in PDF and HTML, loading of past checks
- Statistics: statistic
assessment of the data, based on metrics or error-categories
- Trend analysis: comparing of
checks over time
- Histories: archive with check
reports for posterior analysis purposes (audit-trails)
- Comments: user-specific comments
regarding a check or the exceptions (ignore-list)

Integrated
developing environment
-
Editor: convenient editor with
syntax-highlighting
- IntelliSense as a tool for
automatic completion of rules
- Debugger: debug-information
regarding the development of guideline expressions
- Multi-scripting: support of
various rule- and scripting languages (e.g. C#, LINQ, M-Script,
DXL-Script, SQL)
- Library: building of a test-library
and simplified maintenance through module-function
- Parameterization: dynamic
configuration of a guideline
- Global variables: application
of global check-results in rules


Management
of different rule-catalogues
- Creation of check-catalogues:
building up hierarchic guideline-catalogues, regarding projects, processes
or tools
- Template of rules: embedding of
pre-defined rule-models
- Guideline-documentation (HTML):
web-based presentation of the guidelines
- Customized design-options of
the program content and the check-report by Stylesheet-functions (CSS)
- Configuration: Easy setting of
the guidelines and error-category
- Dynamic embedding of static
data-definitions, e.g. glossaries, result tables (standards, norms)
- Ignore-lists: Convenient
definition of data, that is not to be checked (exclusion)


Program
Environment
- Local or centrally includable
rule-catalogues in the network
- As client: executable on any
notebook or PC with Windows
- As batch: script-sided
integration and execution without graphic surface
- As server: server-based and scheduled
check of artefacts in the background
- Email notification:
notification about the check and the check-results via e-mail (server)
- Workflow (pre-/post-conditions):
logical linking of the checking process (order, priorities, etc.)
- Extensibility (tool-adapter):
connection to the respective tool in use, or the integration in the
IT-infrastructure
