Regardless of the technical aspects and the technologies that can be found in the product, the reliability of applications developed in WINDEV is the consequence of its architecture.
I'd like to remind you that WINDEV was based on the principle of “Let's not re-invent the wheel” each time we develop.
Most of the procedures and behaviors of applications won't be defined in WINDEV through “code”, but through “checking options”.
- Therefore there's no risk of bugs. The features are deployed by millions of copies throughout the world, therefore they benefit from this to offer great reliability.
- In addition, you can be sure that the features will satisfy needs. These features were developed by experienced teams, and they benefit from the feedback of millions of users all over the world. No mater what the skills of a developer in you company are, there's little chance that he'll reach the feature and reliability level of an integrated module.
Here are some examples of procedures that can be defined “by clicks” just by answering some questions in a window or assistant. You can find hundreds of these in WINDEV, and these are just some of them. Not one of these features needs a single line of code (“Zero code” technology).
- Creating a “live-update” setup for an application, in other words, one that suggests an update for each new version of the applications through the company's network or Internet
- Translation an application into several languages
- Managing the “user feedback”: pointing out bugs, suggestions...
- Changing the database of an application (for instance going from SQL Server to Oracle)
- Creating a window (form) with an amazing interface
- Recompiling in 64 bits
- Creating reports: to be viewed, to be printed, paper or PDF
- Creating bar codes
Here I'll mention some of the features that can automatically be found in an application:
- Exporting to Excel or OpenOfficeCalc
- Exporting to Word or OpenOfficeWrite
- Exporting to XML
- Searching the window
- Adding a total or average to a table
- Resizing a combo box
- Adding an automatic validation timer to a button (in can validate itself after a certain amount of time)
- Spell-check
- Display a field's entry log
- ...
Simply imagine: Any developer that uses WINDEV
immediately benefits from a whole set of high level features, features that are for the most part exclusive.
The industrialization of the development process is
automatic, not only without restrictions, but also in terms of development time, budget and reliability.
Benefits:- The development time is reduced to almost zero because of the numerous features
- Bug risk is eliminated (therefore there is higher client satisfaction, less maintenance, therefore a more comfortable budget and more resources available for new projects)
- Applications can have a richness of features like no other
