Design

Using a graphical representation, LiquidApps^® enables technical and non-technical people to collaborate on application design. Business analysts, lead users or customers, and other stakeholders can see the user interface take shape with familiar drag-and-drop and drawing controls. Elements can be instantly repositioned. Shapes, sizes, and colors can be quickly modified. Graphics and animations can be custom-designed or imported from existing libraries. The user interface takes shape in minutes instead of days or weeks. Key stakeholders can quickly identify and correct issues. If desired, the application can be mapped to an imported business process and can highlight disconnects between the application and the process.

Key benefits for designing applications:

• Familiar graphical tools and techniques lets you quickly see the user interface
• Standard widgets for common functions reduce development cost
• Storyboard helps keep multiple screens and process flows in context
• Stylesheets and alignment tools keep layouts professional
• Import process maps from Rational Rose, Visio, and other tools to link applications to business processes
