The Wolfram Solution for Software Engineering
With a unique fusion of programming paradigms and the world's largest collection of algorithms, Wolfram technologies offer rapid, deep development that can be deployed at any scale—locally or through public and private clouds.
Our software engineering tools simplify accurate, large-scale project development with code refactoring, unit testing, direct integration of dynamic libraries and curated connections to external languages and web services.
The Wolfram Edge
The Wolfram Language includes thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:
- Build large-scale production systems using the Wolfram Language's unique mix of computational ability, performance and rapid development
- Create, test and deploy web APIs and web documents instantly on a universal cloud platform
- Evaluate and improve your architecture before writing code or test the performance of sections of code before the application is fully implemented
- Explore software evolution or vulnerabilities interactively and visualize relationships between code modules with built-in graph modeling functions
- Plot running time to see how it scales with input size
- Apply sophisticated machine learning for heuristic predictive analysis, automatic preprocessing and complex data classification
- Integrate natural language understanding in your programs with custom grammar rules
- Automate the coding process, dramatically reducing time to delivery
How Wolfram Compares
Does your current tool set have these advantages?
- Develop, test and deploy in a web or mobile interface with the Wolfram Cloud
- Get your work done with a small fraction of the code required in other languages
- Test sections of code as they are written more easily than with compiled languages
- Build on the industry's largest collection of built-in algorithms for a wide range of mathematics, science and engineering applications
- Curated connections to many external APIs and languages, along with hundreds of supported import/export formats for maximum interoperability
- Choose from functional, procedural and rule-based programming paradigms as needed
- Mix code, documentation, test cases, examples and calculations related to your program in a single, highly organized document
- Free-form linguistic input produces immediate results while making it easy to learn the correct syntax
- Built-in serialization for Wolfram Language expressions makes it easy to save and restore the state of your system
