EiffelStudio 5.7 Open Source Edition is a finalist for the prestigious JOLT award in the category of Languages and Development Environments.
Given out by Dr. Dobbs Magazine, “the annual award is a tribute to the development tools that ‘jolted’ the corporate development industry during the previous year, in terms of increasing developer productivity, heralding a new development paradigm, or making development faster, easier, and more efficient.”
“This recognition highlights our commitment to producing the highest quality tools for enterprise development” said Larry Miller, Director of Business Development for Eiffel Software. “We are extremely excited and honored to be chosen as finalist for such a prestigious award.”
The awards are widely recognized as the benchmark for excellence throughout the software development industry. An independent panel of highly respected individuals from within the software development industry is selected to sit on the panel of judges. Final entries will be subject to a rigorous firsthand evaluation by the judges. The final winners will be announced in March 2007 at the Software Development Conference and Exposition in San Jose, California.
