Object Orientation is the next software development paradigm that will sweep through the world of Information Technology. Essential to the successful deployment of Object Technology is the ability for client programs to be able to request services from objects by binding to a consistent, well defined interface without regard to the physical location of the server object that will carry out the requested service. Until now, there haven't been tools available to help ORB developers, system integrators and users ensure that competitive implementations of the ORB implementations are interoperable and provide the needed consistency of services to client applications and server objects. The VSOrb test suite has reached 'General Availability' status and is therefore on sale to other users.
Work continues on the design and planning for the launch of the Brand.
VSJOrb is scheduled for 'General Availability' in Q3 of 1998. Test suite development Development of the test suites is managed by The Open Group, but involves substantial input from companies who have bought early test suite licenses.
