Modern simulation technologies are of great importance, especially in those areas where errors in real processes can lead to significant costs and risks caused by the consequences of errors. The purpose of the article is to research of the interactive simulators in the field of software development with the integration of ontological models. The research methods are the main methodological approaches and technological tools for the development of interactive simulators in the field of software development with the integration of ontological models. Such methods, in particular, are: system and comparative analyzes – to identify the features of the creation and further use of interactive simulators in the field of software development with the integration of ontological models; the method of expert assessments, which involves the analysis of literary sources and information resources, conducting interviews and surveys of experts, the processes of development and testing of scalable and high-performance interactive simulators in the field of software development with the integration of ontological models. The novelty of the conducted research is the research of the possibility of integrating ontological models directly into the process of developing software simulated in interactive environments. The conclusion of the research carried out in the article is that the work was: the research was conducted on the use of simulation technologies in various subject areas; the role of interactive simulators is determined, which help the participants practice various scenarios in a virtual environment; development of critical thinking; improving decision-making skills; it is determined that interactive simulators are an important learning tool in the field of software development, where the integration of ontological models allows automating part of the processes and ensuring the standardization of procedures. Difficulties in implementing simulation training were identified: high initial costs and technical difficulties. For the successful integration of simulations, it is necessary to: provide a clear definition of educational goals (in particular, for the training of IT specialists); adapt simulations to the specific needs of the organization; integrate simulations into the general training program of IT specialists. It was determined that: ontological models play a key role in the improvement of interactive simulators, helping to structure and formalize knowledge in various subject areas; the use of ontologies contributes to the process of integration of various software components, thereby ensuring flexibility and scalability of systems.
