The Tersus Visual Programming Platform enables the development of enterprise web applications by simply drawing business flow diagrams instead of writing code.
Enterprise web application development normally requires expensive skills in multiple technologies (e.g., server-side programming, database interaction, web services integration, client-side scripting and HTML). The resulting code difficult to maintain. Tersus offers a simpler, faster and cheaper alternative.
Instead of implementing the desired software using tens of thousands of lines of code, which are difficult to understand and maintain, Tersus introduces a visual language and enables the description of all the components of the application, including the GUI, business logic and database interaction, through simple and easy to understand business flow charts. All of a sudden, business experts, who usually write the specifications and then wait patiently for weeks or months just to find out that the programmers have again misunderstood their intentions, can become active participants during the development and contribute emphases and remarks in real time. The result is a software system that precisely fits to the needs of the organization from the outset.
The Tersus visual model simultaneously serves as the design “documents”, the specifications, the documentation and the implementation of the software. The direct outcome of this approach is the elimination of the immediate “aging” of any software – the gap that is created between what the product is supposed to do, what you think it does and what it actually does.
