The study focused on creating an evaluation framework for identifying and evaluating rapid integration tools, with LEIF outpacing other evaluated tools in areas including vendor support, compatibility, flexibility, performance and interoperability. The report, entitled "Rapid Integration Tools for Rapid Application Development," was based on a model problem selected to closely mirror common legacy software integration challenges frequently found in business settings.
The three integration tools were evaluated based on performance in each of seventeen attributes within seven categories. The seven categories include: business, evaluation specific performance, external reference specific performance, vendor support, tool specific performance and integration.Rogue Wave LEIF, IBM Websphere and IBM Rational Rapid Developer products were each selected for evaluation based on specific criteria including the tools' ability to solve a wide-range of Enterprise Application Integration problems, communicate between Java and C++ components, as well as the products' length of commercial availability and track record of success.
"As an increasing number of organizations are facing challenges similar to our model problem in adopting Web services, making a standard evaluation framework for integration tools is increasingly important," said Amit Midha, one of the authors of this report. "Through our research, we saw that these tools are integral to increasing the efficiency of integrating legacy components. LEIF proved to be easily integrated and tailored for specific needs, and to provide added value when working with C++ applications."
