Description

The ReQuest project aims to build intelligent tools intended to produce more quickly, and at lower cost, quality e-business web applications responding in a more satisfactory way to customer requirements. The tools, which are components of DB-MAIN, have two goals:

• provide the user with a great freedom to express his needs (e.g., by drawing draft user interfaces to describe information and behavioural needs),
• assist the specialist in the analysis of these requirements
• semi-automated generation of the programs and database schemas.

ReQuest also makes it possible to interface the new applications with the back-office and to legacy data and services. The software is intended for SME willing to develop electronic commerce applications, either for third parties or for themselves.
