Axure Software Solutions today announced the release of version 4.6 of their popular application design tool Axure RP Pro.
This release raises the level of interactivity and functionality that
can be simulated in Axure RP Pro prototypes to meet the growing demand
for prototyping Web 2.0, AJAX, and Rich Internet Applications (RIAs)
before beginning development.
Victor
Hsu, president of Axure Software Solutions explains, “The latest
release adds powerful prototyping capabilities simply not available in
tools like Microsoft Visio or Adobe Illustrator. The ability to define
conditional logic and interact with user entered data in the prototype
brings rapid wireframing and prototyping to a new level.”
Key enhancements in Axure RP Pro 4.6 include:
- Conditional Logic – Ability to conditionally perform actions based on user input and data.
- Dynamically
Read and Set Field Values - Ability to read values entered by the user
in fields like text fields and radio buttons and to dynamically set
values on fields and text.
- Enhanced Variables – More variables for storing and passing data in the prototype.
- Enhanced
Widgets – A new menu widget for prototyping fly out menus (like those
found in many desktop and web applications) as well as new properties
for existing widgets like rollover styles.
As part
of the application definition process, one of Axure RP’s key advantages
is that application designers can quickly create highly interactive prototypes
without writing any code. Axure RP Pro is the leading alternative to
traditional diagramming and drawing tools like Microsoft Visio and
Adobe Illustrator for creating application wireframes and prototypes.
