QAT Makes QAT Function Manager 2008 Free!
by Karie Barrett
Q.A. Technologies has been developing and working with custom functions, which implement functionality not provided by the native functions in an original "out-of-the-box" CA Gen installation, for several years. QAT Function Manager was created to automate the maintenance of these custom functions. It allows users to import custom functions, register them into Gen Models, define and compile custom function code into runtime library or implement a third party runtime library, add action diagram statements to Gen applications using custom functions, and generate and install a Gen application.
Over the years, QAT has created several valuable libraries for CA Gen and several other products are based on these custom function libraries. Having experienced the productivity gains from utilizing custom functions within their own business, making QAT Function Manager available for free to the rest of the Gen community is a notable gift. So why make it free? Rollie Stephens, Vice President of QAT and a long time supporter of the CA Gen product, said “We think it’s time that other vendors and the CA Gen customer base get more involved with custom functions. There are several vendors around the world that have valuable functionality they could provide and distribute in the form of custom function libraries and we want to promote that for the benefit of the CA Gen community. Of course, we also hope that customers will have a look at some of the other function libraries we already have available and consider purchasing those libraries. In order to get things started, we’re making QAT Function Manager a free download and we’re giving away a valuable File I/O library.”
You’ll find all of the details about custom functions and the free QAT Function Manager 2008 on the QAT web site.
