Other features in Version 3.0 include query-based model views and the ability to interface to user-selected external text models. Reporting is enhanced through generation of domain-specific HTML reports that allow developers to communicate concepts and designs in their own language, Telelogic said.

Telelogic believes its product eclipses competing products Borland Together and IBM Rational Systems Architecture by enabling developers to find errors very early in the development process.

Tau 3.0 supports standards such as Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 and SysML (Systems Modeling Language). Prices start at US$1,495 for a single-user license.
