BigLever Software, Inc.TM
BigLever Software, Inc.TM is the industry's leading provider of software product line engineering framework, tools and services. BigLever's patent-pending Gears solution—recipient of the 18th Annual Jolt Productivity Award —dramatically simplifies the creation, evolution and maintenance of embedded or standalone software for a product line portfolio. The Gears tool and software product line (SPL) lifecycle framework shifts the development focus from a multitude of products to a single software production line capable of automatically producing all of the products in a portfolio.
With Gears, software development organizations can reduce development costs and bring new product line features and products to market faster, enabling the business to more reliably target and hit strategic market windows.
Silver Sponsors
Fraunhofer
Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering Maryland (FC-MD) advances real-world software practices through innovative research into software-engineering technologies and processes.
