Pathfinder Solutions’ mission is to drive adoption of architecture-focused model-based development technologies on real-time embedded systems with immediate, bottom line results. Pathfinder Solutions offers expert training, services and technology to promote the successful adoption and integration of model-based development services and tools in the areas of systems engineering and software development.

Thousands of development organizations rely on UML to capture detailed application specifications and improve understanding of system architecture and design throughout the development team. The OMG® Model Driven Architecture framework (MDA®) is a proven set of modeling language standards with supporting technology that takes UML to a new level of effectiveness. 

MDA is revolutionizing the way in which Model Driven Development is applied to embedded systems by shifting the focus from code to architecture.

Get Started with Effective Modeling Training

The successful application of model-based development technology requires a fundamental shift from code-focused programming to architecture-focused embedded software engineering. To ensure fast, maximum return on your software development investment and to mitigate key technology risks, Pathfinder Solutions delivers guidance from experts with extensive experience in the field. Whether you’re new to UML and MDD or you’re pushing the MDA technology envelope, Effective Modeling Training Services equip you with field-proven methodologies and hard-earned insights into this vital technology. Pathfinder’s Effective Modeling training covers both individual technical and leadership aspects of MDD adoption, including intensive courses teaching time-proven techniques for architecture-focused modeling, applications of MDD tools, and effective management of model driven development projects.

Expert Mentoring Services - Expert Consulting to Ensure Success

Pathfinder Solutions is dedicated to the continuing success of your model-based software development. Our Expert Mentoring services provide expert guidance through all of your projects to ensure accurate plans and rapid results from MDD development. Pathfinder mentors join your team to help create, deploy and manage effective models that are adaptable to changing requirements, all while maintaining industry-specific standards and compliance. More than just a source of information, Pathfinder Solutions mentors lead from in front, working as part your development team. As projects progress, our consultants move from a guiding role to co-contributor and reviewer. This approach is proven to be the fastest path to mastery of this technology and autonomy for your development team.

Industry Leading Technology

Through its architecture focus and advanced automation, PathMATE is the leading MDD environment for embedded, real-time systems development.  This powerful technology executes and tests platform-independent UML models and automatically transforms them into high performance C, C++, and Java systems that are specifically optimized for resource-constrained embedded environments. Development teams using PathMATE to build challenging, real-world systems have documented dramatic benefits:

• A minimum of 30% productivity gain
• A 90% decrease in software defects reported
• Lower development & test hardware costs
• Large-scale software reuse across platforms and deployment topologies
• Faster response to changing requirements
• C, C++ & Java coded consistently and conformant to organization conventions
• Automated enforcement of architecture
• Rapid platform migration
  

Open Technology with PathMATE

The renowned Eclipse framework provides the architectural base for the PathMATE Model Automation and Transformation Environment. Fundamentally open and extensible, PathMATE integrates best-of-breed MDD automation & transformation technology with leading UML editors including Rational Rose, Rational Software Modeler (RSM) and open-sourced Eclipse-based modeling tools.

Leading embedded software development teams have made PathMATE their MDA solution of choice because of its unique capabilities:

• Architectural control—Automatically enforce architecture and transform models into optimized deployment topologies with the ease
• Customizable Transformations—freely extend PathMATE transformation templates with project-specific code optimizations, patterns and standards
• Separation of models and implementation—PathMATE models are implementation code-free, maximizing deployment flexibility and migration options
• Configurable model-level debug and testing—maintain a model-level of abstraction and yield high-fidelity test results, executing models on development and deployment platforms
• Value Preservation—PathMATE preserves your existing tool investment by integrating with your current UML editor, configuration management system and build environment
• Development Speed—model to code transformations take just seconds, enabling highly iterative model development, transformation and test cycles
