Một công cụ phát sinh mã giao diện người dùng từ lược đồ lớp trong UML

Tóm tắt

Producing source code that implements the GUI takes a great deal of effort in software development, especially for interactive software systems. This work load, generally considered tedious and burdensome, is inadequately automated given the richness of conceptual design and behavior models generated in earlier stages of the development process. A few frameworks have been proposed for generating GUI code based on formal specification or code annotation, requiring extra work to be done in addition to conceptually designing the software system in question. We propose a mechanism that generates GUI code from UML class diagrams expressed in XMI. Our approach takes into account the associations between design concepts and their composition hierarchy that is explicitly expressed in the UML language.
