In this developing IT age, in order to quickly realize user needs, it is necessary to develop software with high quality as well as flexibility and expansibility while attempting to shorten software development time and/or reduce development costs. In order to achieve this, the installment of a software development process based on object orientation technology and the recycling of software components, fulfills an essential role. "OOT Community", aims to raise the skills and enhance productivity of the entire software development industry by aggressively offering and transmitting object orientation technology. This development environment integrates various development tools including everything from the lower to the upper reaches of the development process. Information such as know-how regarding software component distribution to software development engineers are also included.
The three companies, which have agreed on the establishment of the "OOT Community", will participate in the development of the same said site based on the points below.
- NTT COMWARE: will offer a new age software development environment, which the company is scheduled to jointly construct with RATIONAL SOFTWARE U.S.A., to the "OOT Community" site and will support the installment of a development process based on the latest object orientation technology.
- NIHON RATIONAL SOFTWARE: will actively introduce the latest information regarding object orientation technology, promoted by RATIONAL SOFTWARE U.S.A., or software development methods to the "OOT Community".
