Ensure stakeholder feedback through rapid creation of visual prototypes

The MSC to SDL Synthesizer enables rapid creation of executable prototypes from high-level scenarios

Project success in systems and software development increasingly depends on getting early feedback from stakeholders. But getting quality feedback on static textual specifications is difficult. Running prototypes of typical scenarios ensure real involvement, but prototyping with traditional development tools is costly. IBM offers a unique solution to this challenge: the Telelogic® SDL Suite™ MSC to SDL Synthesizer, which allows rapid creation of executable applications from high-level scenarios expressed using the industry-standard Message Sequence Charts (MSC). The new technology automatically translates easy-to-read formalized use case scenarios to complete software systems, which can be simulated and validated using the built-in capabilities of the Telelogic SDL Suite.

The Telelogic SDL Suite MSC to SDL Synthesizer provides a springboard for developing state machine models. Focused on the requirements capture and validation phases of software development, it uses scenario language as the input for the modeling process and automatically transforms scenarios into executable state machines. Use it to validate models of your system and avoid snowballing incorrect decisions that can result from incomplete or incorrect requirements.

Simulate Live Performance

The Performance Simulator is available for running simulations of a performance model (specified in SDL), to obtain estimates about the SDL system's performance. The Performance Simulation Library is specially designed to execute performance simulations and does not include the monitor system, and thus will execute on the order of 30 to 40 times faster than the standard Simulation Library.
