Modularis Accelerator 6 consists of the following components:

Architect is a sophisticated Architected-RAD tool designed specifically for use by experienced software architects to automate the creation of tedious, repetitive, and error-prone infrastructure code. This code represents approximately 70% of an enterprise application, and would normally be built by hand.

Architect provides a number of advanced options that provide tremendous control over the logical and physical architecture implemented for a given application. It generates truly production-quality source code in C# or VB.NET that can be edited directly in Visual Studio .NET. Architect also provides full code merge capability, allowing users to modify an entity object model and regenerate an application while still preserving any application code that has been customized.  

Modularis Accelerator includes a number of powerful productivity tools designed to aid developers in customizing and maintaining applications generated with Architect. Many of these tools are integrated into the Visual Studio .NET IDE. Key features include:

• Automated code templating that adds customizable header blocks, structured exception handling and performance profiling to new or existing code
• Automated code documentation
• Sophisticated application performance analysis and bottleneck detection
• Integrated management of application events, exceptions, messages and settings
• GAC & COM+ management utilities    

administration and monitoring tools

Accelerator provides a number of administration and monitoring tools designed to help developers or system administrators easily configure, manage and monitor the performance of enterprise applications built with Accelerator. Key features include:

• Analysis and display of distributed error call stacks, enabling users to immediately locate root-cause errors down to the line-level
• Analysis and display of application events and alerts
• Centralized management of application configuration settings     

The Accelerator Libraries are a set of proven, tested, and freely-distributable .NET assemblies that provide a number of services critical to all enterprise applications. They build upon the .NET Framework to offer the following high-level features:

• An application-layer, role-based security model that can be used independently or in conjunction with external authentication providers such as Active Directory
• Advanced object state management services
• A centralized, asynchronous Audit Trail
• Centralized exception logging with line-level detail across process and machine boundaries
• Centralized, asynchronous logging and processing of Alerts with support for attachments

The Accelerator Libraries use a SQL Server or MSDE database to store log, configuration, and security-related data and metadata. The schema of this database is open and extensible, and it can be installed anywhere on your network.
