Gates Calls Modeling 'High-End' Development

  • last May announced Visual Studio 2005 Team System (VSTS), which features the Whitehorse technology and includes deep support for modeling, as well as addressing more of the application development life cycle. VSTS is expected to be delivered next year.

  • "Modeling is the idea of declaring what something should do, whether it's a business process or computer system," he said. "It's simply having the rules and constraints for that behavior and expecting the software to figure out how to do that without being told in such an explicit way," he added.

    For instance, "If we want to test a large piece of software, the best way to do it is to test individual components," Gates said. "But in order to do that, you have to understand all of the rich ways that other software calls into those components. And there's never been a way of modeling that. We've created a rich, new specification language called SpecChart that lets us do that."
