A universal parsing tool & a source code generator

Hi all,some time ago I stumbled about this project: http://www.codeworker.org/index.htmlI am interested in it as it supports also C++ and .NET. Is there anyone working with it?Can one use it to get the XText, XPand and the like stuff onto the C++ or .NET language?Thanks, LotharSee More

I have another idea to the output generating stuff. Could it be easy enough to transform an UML model into a database representation? Are there any tools that cope with that step? Then any reporting tool based on databases could probably do the…

Hi, on 20th dec I have released a new version with bug fixes but also opened up the module that is responsible for code generation. The reason is because there are so many other open source tools, thus I propably would have no way to earn money…

you can generate HDL from a Mathlab or Simulink model. HTH, Berni

Are there any MDSD and embedded or FPGA based projects?

Hi,I am playing a bit with micro controllers and FPGA designs. Until now only with IVI and Icarus Verilog. Also in the past I developed with real PIC controllers.I ask my self if there are any open source related projects targeting embedded software using and or combining with FPGA or PIC / AVR / ARM designs.I know this is probably not discussed yet, but I think it would be interesting.There are some search results targeting embedded, AUTOSAR and MDSD:…See More

Interesting question. I thought about similar issues of documenting my application in general. I am currently using Doxygen for the API and Open Office for the GUI application and how to use it in general. In my view an ideal solution would be an…

Lothar Behrens commented on Angelo Hulshout's blog post 'MDSD tooling index'
What about a searchable - or dynamic feature matrix? It would enable one to search for, say, GUI/WEB or supporting specific target languages the tool is capable of. Say, I would search for specific framework (P4A (PHP)), Java, C++ using wxWidgets…

"I ask myself if there are any attempts of creating typical tests based on the occurrence of typical modeling artifacts." As you present it, I guess we could consider unit testing as a cross-cutting concern. However, due to the complexity…

Hi Lothar, MDSD has always 2 sides: What can be and is done in projects, and what is available for public. So, as Mark, I just can give you the answers that generating unit tests of course is possible and practice. On the W-JAX in Munich next week…

It's of little help to you other than as a motivating example since there's no public documentation on it but we were quite successful in my previous company at generating unit tests for the COM Automation and OLD DB interfaces into our…

Lothar, I've written a book on how to improve the quality of software thereby making testing more about the correctness of the logic and data. I've learned that testing does not improve the quality of software therefore testers have truly…

Are there any attempts to get the same MDSD approaches into unit testing?

Hi,some time ago I have implemented unit tests with NUnit to apply unit testing for an enterprise service based project. At that time I have written the tests manually.Now I have several more books and also one documenting xUnit tests as patterns, thus there is a more or less point where tests are similar. This is the nature of patterns.Because of this and my involvement in code generation and modeling tasks I ask myself if there are any attempts of creating typical tests based on the…See More

Final release of lbDMF (MDSD via UML / BoUML and XSLT) is out - with printing capabilities!

I have finally released my software and set it to production/stable. So when one has to do with prototyping and database applications, please review. Now printing has been added as an important business task.To use the UML modelling feature, please download BoUML at http://bouml.free.fr and don't forget to donate :-)The UML tool is used for the model driven aspect as an input but also I can reverse engineer, thus output to UML and then start MDA /MDSD for existing database schemas to get simple…See More

Hi, I am not sure, but it is at least in the information system design domain I think: http://www.openbluelab.org/cms/global-overview.html And only for Alfresco. Lothar

Hi, I just wonder about creating another tooling index. I came to this group from a posting in the codegeneration forum. They also have an index for tools: http://codegeneration.net/generators.php. Probably only generators, but why another…
