What Is Guidewire Studio?

Guidewire Studio is the IDE (integrated development environment) for creating and managing PolicyCenter application resources. These resources include Gosu rules, classes, enhancements and plugins, and all configuration files used by PolicyCenter to build and render the application.

Guidewire Studio is based upon IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, a powerful and popular IDE.

Using Guidewire Studio, you can:

  • Create and edit individual rules, and manage these rules and their order of consideration within a rule set
  • Create and manage PCF pages, workflows, entity names, and display keys
  • Create and manage Gosu classes and entity enhancements
  • Create and manage the PolicyCenter data entities, business objects, and data types
  • Manage plugins and message destinations
  • Configure database connections
  • Manage the PolicyCenter product model
Important: Do not create installation directories that have spaces in the name. This can prevent Guidewire Studio from functioning properly.
