LiquidApps^®

You need to build a user interface. Maybe it's a Java Swing interface; maybe it's a web interface in Eclipse RWT; maybe it's even a mobile application for an Android device. As a designer, you need to make changes up to the last minute. As a developer, you need to write services behind the User Interface. Your stakeholders need to stay informed and be contributors throughout the process. You need LiquidApps^®.

Intuitive visual UI design without coding.

Design user interfaces with the freedom of expression of a design tool, but within the capabilities of the chosen target toolkit. Enjoy the guarantee that everything you design can be implemented without needing to learn the rules of a target platform UI toolkit.

Generate UI code automatically.

Generate developer-friendly source code directly to the target toolkit and never perform picture-to-source code manual translation again! LiquidApps supports multiple code generators already: Java for Eclipse, Java for NetBeans, Eclipse RWT, and Android ... with more on the way:

• Java Swing code for desktop applications - including NetBeans visual forms
• RWT code for Eclipse Rich Ajax Platform web applications
• Android code for mobile applications

Simulate your application directly in LiquidApps.

• Quickly create runnable versions of your design using Logic Scripts.
• Easily get feedback from users about your application without the need for a developer to first write code.

One tool with many faces.

Why learn a new design tool for each new paradigm? LiquidApps currently supports Desktop, Web, and Mobile interface design. As new platforms and devices are added, you'll simply gain more options, not more complication.

• As you edit, designs are rendered using the actual target UI toolkit, when available, so that you see exactly what the end result will look like.
• If a target UI toolkit is not available, designs are displayed using the wireframe renderer.
• One consistent, familiar, design tool regardless of the platform you choose to target.

Integrate requirements directly with your content.

Requirements aren’t supposed to be locked away in a gargantuan database. LiquidApps automatically brings contextually relevant requirements front and center where they won’t be overlooked.

• Record requirements and attach them directly to relevant elements within your project.
• Select any widget or task model element to see requirements attached to it.
• Generate a report any time with up to date images of user interfaces, task models, and all requirements.

Plan, document, and collaborate with task models.

• Plan each activity a user or system needs to accomplish while using your application.
• Task Models guide the creation of your design to ensure that it accomplishes all necessary tasks.
• Link tasks in diagrams to User Interface designs to enable automatic validation.

Easily set properties with Style Sheets.

• Create rules that define properties for specific platforms, generic widgets, widget size, or even spacing between widgets.
• Give your application a consistent theme without hours of painstaking work.
