Telelogic® Tau® for Model-Driven SOA

Telelogic Tau is optimized for model-driven Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) development. Using Telelogic Tau's architecture-focused methodology at the very beginning of the concept and design phase allows you to create tested, stable designs of interconnected distributed (composite) applications that are directly tied to your organization's business plans. These designs can be fully simulated and tested before deployment, ensuring maximal performance with minimal disruption.

Individual service components can be evaluated as part of the application, whether they are being re-used from other applications, acquired externally, or custom developed. For development of new services and adaption of legacy applications to SOA format, Telelogic Tau can help you visualize the requirements and automate the development of new software and the WSDL interfaces.

Telelogic Tau model-driven SOA offers you:

• A consistent view that captures a definition of the entire service oriented architecture
• Simulation of composite applications, with the ability to invoke Web services over the internet to simulate and evaluate the entire composite application
• Generation of new services in deployable Java, C#, or C++, guaranteeing consistency with the architectural specification, while promoting reuse for future applications
• Reverse-engineering and visualizing software from source code to design and construct new services from existing designs
• Adapting legacy services through development of an SOA-aware wrapper
• Round-trip engineering of WSDL and XSD interfaces, including automated generation of the interfaces for new services
• Visualization and reverse-engineering of existing WSDL and XSD interfaces for analysis and understanding when being considered for new composite applications

Support for model-driven SOA is a highly-integrated, standard feature of the Telelogic Tau MDD environment.
