Progress Sonic Workbench
Progress® Sonic Workbench™ is an Eclipse-based SOA toolset to model, configure, test and deploy processes and services using products in the Sonic ESB Product Family.
ts graphical tools make it easy to model business processes and subsequently specify configuration and deployment details, supporting an intuitive "top-down" approach to the SOA development lifecycle.
Sonic Workbench brings wide-area SOA to the desktop. Developers can rapidly configure and test Sonic ESB processes and services locally, and then deploy and debug them in the network using real-time tracking and step-through debugging tools.
Sonic Workbench provides an integrated SOA toolset to streamline the lifecycle of an ESB project:
-
Process Modeling
Provides a visual, drag-and-drop palette and standards-based business process notation, enabling business analysts to create process flows across distributed services and more effectively collaborate with SOA architects.
-
Configuration
Enables SOA architects and developers to create services and implement ESB process flows across a distributed topology using a point-and-click, metadata-driven configuration model while preserving access to a drill-down, code-level view.
-
Testing & Debugging
Sonic Workbench provides the ability to test and debug ESB processes on the desktop and in test environments, and to triage and diagnose problems in live, distributed deployments. Sonic delivers the first distributed ESB Process Debugger, allowing developers to view and debug a process executing across multiple, distributed services from a single view. Sonic also enables visual step-through debugging of distributed processes as they execute within a live deployment, without disrupting other ongoing processes.
-
Deployment
Sonic Workbench reduces the risk associated with managing change in complex SOA environments by determining the dependencies of composite applications and business processes and analyzing the impact of their promotion into the production environment.
