- Connect bridge management studio: a web-based application used to manage and test connect bridge serversPublication . Baptista, Vítor Miguel Costa; Quintal, Filipe Magno de Gouveia; Takahashi, Jefferson KenjiConnecting Software is a software development company focused on the development of integration solutions. For this, the company created a platform named Connect Bridge and some products based on this platform which provide an out-of-the box solution for the common integration issues faced by companies. The Connect Bridge (CB) is an integration platform mainly based on a server (usually named CB Server) that uses a plugin architecture to allow its users to connect to a variety of systems (e.g., Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint or Dynamics CRM). Each plugin (usually called as a connector), allows the platform to access a different target system. Connect Bridge platform is managed by two different applications, the Administration Tool and Query Analyzer. These two tools are old-fashioned and only compatible with Windows operating systems, which limits the number of customers that can use this platform. This project aims to solve these problems by creating a Single Page Web Application called Connect Bridge Management Studio which was developed using Angular and ASP.NET Core. At the end of this project, Connecting Software has a ready to deploy application that is capable of replacing Query Analyzer and Administration Tool in all their core features. The evaluation of this project was made comparing the existing tools with the CB Management Studio. Also, an evaluation with users was performed using the think-aloud technique and SUS test which presented satisfactory results. The present document describes the process followed to achieve this solution, focusing on the most critical aspects of its development and the faced challenges.
