How does eXpress Differ from Other Tools?

Comparing a simple "feature list" might make eXpress seem comparable to other approaches. However, eXpress surpasses all other approaches when it comes to supporting the design process at all stages of development.

It is effective as an up-front design and optimization tool

While other tools focus on run-time or other aspects later in the engineering cycle, eXpress is unique in the industry by focusing on the real-world challenges of a dynamic design environment. It supports a rapidly changing design environment through:

  • Hybrid function/failure mode model
  • Layered approach to information capture

In-depth Analysis Reporting Capabilities

While other tools stop at the basic testability metrics, eXpress adds a wealth of other assessment statistics that help provide a more true indication of the design's testability. eXpress also backs nearly all statistics up with a sub-report that goes into more details to allow the exact pinpointing of the factors which are driving the statistic in the wrong direction. For supporting trade studies, eXpress can provide the right information for making the most intelligent decision towards optimization.

Extensive Support for Hierarchy

Many tools provide no support, or very limited support for hierarchy. eXpress provides extremely robust support. In fact, there does not have to be any symmetry in different levels. Analysis can be configured to isolate into any branch of the hierarchy, independent of its depth to any other branch. Furthermore, analysis always uses all the information provided in the hierarchy, regardless of where isolation has been configured to stop.
