100 Percent Error-free Code

CA Gen generates and provides runtimes for the entire application code. CA Gen also provides everything necessary to deploy the application to a supported environment — the clients, the servers, and the middleware. It generates 100 percent error-free code.

One caveat regarding the error-free code: while the generated code is always syntactically correct, this does not imply that it is logically correct. For example, if you meant to add A to B giving C, but instead specified that A should be added to D, CA Gen may not be able to catch that. However, the software does have mechanisms in place to reduce even these kinds of errors.

From a productivity standpoint, some rather incredible numbers regarding the timesaving benefits of CA Gen have been quoted from time to time. Every CA Gen situation is different, of course. However, to say that CA Gen can take you through your development phase three times faster than before, while reducing subsequent maintenance effort by a factor of ten, would be in line with many past experiences.
