Thinkwise Platform release 2021.3

We are very excited to announce version 2021.3 of the Thinkwise Platform.

Our highlighted feature of this release is the redesigned and improved Creation process. This redesign offers many advantages:

• All jobs are no longer performed by a client (the GUI) but instead by Indicium. This shift means that generation, validation, etc., will continue even if you close the Software Factory GUI.
• Since all jobs are performed by Indicium, it is possible to automate the entire process.
• All developers can track a job's progress. For example, if one developer starts generating the definition of a project version, another developer can see this in their Creation screen.
• This behavior extends to the validation- and unit test tabs in various modelers. The Validation and Unit test screens that can be opened directly from the menu have also been updated.
• You can execute the steps in the Creation process separately or all at once.

The screens and steps you already know in the Creation process are still available. But to move the responsibility of the creation process to Indicium, some screens have changed, and we have cleaned up some unused features.

For more information, see:

• Redesigned creation process
• Task to execute a complete creation
• Automate your creation process

Of course, this release brings more new features and changes. Some other highlights are:

• Reusable subflows
• Multiple running instances of system flows
• Generation optimization
• Generation strategies for control procedures
• Manual test administration
