LogicGem有两方面的用户群体，软件开发人员(程序员)和业务分析人员(非程序员)。这两个不同群体之间的共同点在于他们都需要设计逻辑上完整的业务规则。对程序员来说，业务规则是就是用编程语言将软件应用程序的功能需求转换成为应用程序的一部分。业务分析师或领域专家，无需将逻辑转换成程序语言，但同样有这方面的需要。 业务分析师需要开发代表现实生活并提出业务流程，这些流程需要软件一样的逻辑健壮。我们可以把这样的程序员和业务工程师称为“逻辑工程师”。

在软件开发中大部分的努力不只是为了编写代码，更需要覆盖所有可能的组合情况下的过程——用户输入、数据库事务或者程序中可能遭遇的其它事情。当程序员或分析师忽略可能的用户输入或事件，程序或计划就可能向意想不到的方向发展。更糟糕的是在程序维护时产生的错误，通常是由于程序员没有完全考虑到许多种不同的可能性之间的交互。事实上，,逻辑分析是繁琐和极易出错的：很容易忽略，重复或条件矛盾。

LogicGem是一种使用决策表理论解决这些问题，被称为“逻辑处理器”的软件工具。LogicGem由逻辑编辑器和逻辑编译器组成。使用逻辑编辑器。你可以创建逻辑表——封装一组逻辑规则的电子表格结构。表格的一部分包含的是能够被链结的创建规则的条件，另外一部分包含的是与规则相关的行为。一旦你定义了规则，编辑器会自动分析它们，添加缺失的规则并删除那些多余的或矛盾的东西。决策表技术是可以构建逻辑完整的业务规则的工具。当你完成的时候，编译器可以生成Basic, C, C++, Fortran, FoxPro, Java, Pascal, PowerBuilder, SAS, Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET, Visual C#.NET, 或 Xbase的源代码。编译器将生成一组英语、西班牙语、法语或德语的，可以作为文档或知识库的规则。

LogicGem has a two-fold audience, software developers (programmers) and business analysts (non-programmers). The common thread between these two diverse groups is that they both need to design logically complete business rules. For the programmer, the business rules are in fact functional requirements for a software application that are translated into a programming language that becomes part of the application. For the business analyst or domain expert, the same need exists with the exception of translating the logic to a programming language. Business analysts need to develop concise business rules that represent real life or proposed business processes and these processes need to be every bit as logically robust as a software implementation. Collectively, we can refer to both groups of programmers and business analysts as a "logic engineer".

Much of the effort in software development does not involve writing code, but rather the process of covering every possible combination of circumstances — user input, database transaction, or any other event — that the program will encounter. When the programmer or analyst overlooks a possible combination of inputs or events, the program may do things essentially at random. Even worse are errors made during program maintenance, usually by programmers who do not fully understand the interaction between dozens of different possibilities. As it is, logical analysis is tedious and error prone: it's easy to omit, duplicate, or contradict conditions.

LogicGem is a software tool called a "logic processor" that addresses these issues using decision table theory. LogicGem consists of a logic editor, and logic compiler. With the logic editor, you can create logic tables — spreadsheet-like constructions that encapsulate a set of logical rules. One part of a table contains conditions that can be linked to create a rule, and the other part contains actions that are related to the rules. Once you've defined the rules, the editor will automatically analyze them, add missing rules, and remove those that are redundant or contradictory. Decision table technology is the vehicle by which logically complete business rules may be constructed. When you're done, the logic compiler is available to generate source code in Basic, C, C++, Fortran, FoxPro, Java, Pascal, PowerBuilder, SAS, Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET, Visual C#.NET, or Xbase. The compiler will produce a set of English, Spanish, French or German rules that can be used as documentation or as a knowledge base.

The LogicGem logic processor software tool is designed to provide a familiar, easy-to-use way to create, edit, verify and compile decision table logic. LogicGem's logic tables express a problem visually, making it easy to understand. LogicGem provides the means to prototype and expand a high-level procedural concept into a decision table, work it through analysis and design phases, and then generate English language documentation and programming source code in various programming languages. LogicGem provides tools to ensure that a table's logic is complete, unambiguous and contains every applicable rule in an expanded or reduced format.
