JXPro: Environment for Java Program Composition Integrating Test-Driven Development with Life-Cycle Management

Software development and project management in the IT industry offers increasing revenues for software houses and outsourcing companies. Development of complex multiple toolsets for software development and management results to high quality software systems requiring specialist software engineers to bring many aspects of software development together to create top software systems titles. There is a need to simplify this process, not only for ease of development but to bring out the best ideas of outside customers to software development domain to exceed customer satisfaction. With this in mind we developed a novel integrated development environment called JXPro. JXPro is based on Eclipse platform, thus providing a software suite that integrates source editors, compilers, error analyzer, unit-testing and life-cycle management tools to afford advanced software development and project management within the IDE. The aim of this research is to provide a fully-automated collection of tools for software project development and management to improve software quality, throughput and increase productivity.
