Efficient Design with CA 2E

CA 2E is an application development tool that allows you to design, develop, implement, and maintain application software more efficiently, rigorously, and effectively than current third-generation methods permit. Using CA 2E, you can create programs without having to know a programming language. These programs build applications that manipulate your data according to your business requirements.

An application development tool is more than just a program generator. It helps you determine how your business or organization can be best represented on a computer with respect to the data you need to store and to the functions that operate upon the data.

The data modeling and procedural specification facilities of CA 2E enable you to do precisely this. In other words, your application is stored as business design objects, such as data definitions, interface designs, and action diagrams.
