Business Rules Management System Visual Rules 3.5.1
Visual Rules is an intuitive and high-performance Business Rules Management System for developing business rules. Business logic is modeled graphically and automatically translated into Java code. It can also be provided as EJB or invoked as Web Service. The Rule Engine Visual Rules can be used as plug-in for Eclipse, SAP NetWeaver or IBM Rational Software.
With Visual Rules it is possible to quickly define, visualize, test and automate business rules. Visual modeling and maintaining of business rules is possible for business analysts without coding knowledge. Integrated quality management ensures that rules are completely tested and logically correct before deployment.
IT experts integrate the fully tested business rules into operational systems - either directly into any Java application or in a repository to be accessed via a Web Service. Visual Rules also can be used in a solely rule-based technical implementation. The build tools automate the deployment and QA process and enable integrating Visual Rules in existing build and delivery processes.
The latest version,
3.5.1, focuses on Usability. It provides two powerful new functions for even more usability and flexibility in the definition of business rules: - Users can now quickly import very big and complex data models as basis for modeling of business rules. This acceleration is enabled by a highly reduced memory footprint of rule models. - Visual Rules´ actions are now able to directly process Java objects of any type. Because of this new capability, actions can now execute domain-specific tasks.
