• Benefits — The SoftBench 6.X environment offers multiple ways to develop software
more effectively. It includes the following benefits:
— Natural Interaction with the Development Environment: SoftBench 6.X
introduces a different model to SoftBench users - Project Model. This model enables
developers to organize their work in a way that naturally reflects the underlying
structure of their applications.
— Increased Productivity through Complete Tool Integration: Building upon the
Project Model, SoftBench 8.X provides tools for each step of the software development
lifecycle - editing, building, debugging, analysis, and management. This facilitates
complete integration, both in terms of breadth and depth. All the tools are integrated
through sophisticated messaging framework of SoftBench.
— Shorter Learning Curve: The graphical nature of SoftBench makes it easier for
new or experienced developers to create value-added software without being

aC++, conforms to the latest draft specifications from the ANSI C++ committee.
SoftBench 6.X supports the HP aC++ compiler with all the SoftBench tools, including
