QSapecNG is a Qt-based program for symbolic analysis of linear analog circuits. In fact, it consists of two indipendent parts: the SapecNG framework engine and the application gui QSapecNG. It is an open source, multi-platform project, continuously enhanced by students and researchers of Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of the University of Florence. It comes as continuation of SapWin for Windows, in order to give to the project a full compatibility on other platforms. Through SapecNG / QSapecNG users can draw, solve and analyze analog circuits as well as manage them.

SapecNG and QSapecNG are developed using open-source frameworks and toolkits. The code is freely available and any help or suggestion is appreciated. Since the result of a degree thesis depicts not only a destination but a starting point, developers' aim is to carry out the project as long as possible. SapecNG/QSapecNG can be thought as a young project that looks to the future, like a new generation family of multi-purpose symbolic analysis program.

SapecNG and QSapecNG are designed to be easy to use. But easy who for? SapecNG framework engine aims to offer a wide range set of services to the developers, so everyone can develop a fully personalized interface. Fully personalized interface means low-level interaction program as well as graphical user interface based on different toolkits (i.e. GTK+ on homepage
QSapecNG is the high level part of the application and attempts to make easy the design and the resolution of electric circuits, as well as their analysis. Despite to the complexity of the underlying framework, the GUI leads both new and experienced users through a carefully and user-friendly designed interface.
