Xstream Software Suite

Rapidbuilder
RapidBuilder Deluxe is a software simulation, content, WBT and CBT authoring technology. Unlike screen shot capturing tools, RapidBuilder's continuous capturing methodology is like using a Camcorder; capturing all mouse moves, mouse clicks, screen changes and key board entries at record time. A 100% programming-free interface allows developers to create & customize fully interactive or non-interactive, multimedia software simulations that realistically duplicate the functionality of the 'live' Windows environment. Recorded Simulations can be enhanced using the feature-rich multimedia edit suite RapidBuilder is a 2-in-1 technology for creating CBT/WBT, Softskills & IT Application Simulation Standard Draw Objects and Tools: colour Low learning curve - no programming skills required! SCORM v1.2 and Section 508 Accessibility Compliance Drag & Drop Authoring... Unique Edit Objects: video stage, Flash stage, instruction box, text fields, graphics & animated GIFs, classic menu builder, highlighter, drag & drop, enhanced text validation Button Objects: hyperlink, radio button, check box, progress button palette, gradient fills Create Templates and/or Shareable Content Objects (SCOs) Store Assets & Templates in Resource Editor i.e. audio, video, graphic and template files Import/Export of Text - language translation Sound Support including Enhanced Audio Options - Text-to-Speech (automatic audio) - 11 different audio options

Rapidexam
RapidExam Deluxe is an authoring technology ideal for creating interactive, multimedia online exams, assessments, certifications, self-study tests and more. Eleven (11) questions styles are supported including Fill-in-the-Banks, True or False, Multiple Choice, Check List, Match List, Hot Spot, Drag & Drop, Short Answer, Combo Box List, Edit Combo Box List, and List Box List. RapidExam functions independent of RapidBuilder and Performance Analyzer or alternatively integrates well with both these XStream technologies.

Performance Analyzer
Performance Analyzer is a unique technology that enables organizations to create, customize, deploy, track, test and evaluate the users performance using software simulations. The developer can capture, append or insert new screens/frames within a simulation as well as import existing simulations already created using RapidBuilder. On the back-end RapidManager captures and records the performance-based simulation metrics. A multitude of built-in reports are available using XStreams back-end administrative management system. Additional report queries can be created using the SQL Server or Oracle back-end database query engines.
