Code Generation from UML Model: State of the Art and Practical Implications

Abstract

The paper draws attention to the problem of code generation under advanced software development. In their previous publications the authors already discussed several issues associated with the inconsistency between the generated software components and those expected in respect with the rules for object-oriented programming. The current research is an effort to systematize the information about code generation methods and techniques applied in the task of code generation and to try to answer the question of what is the reason for code generation failing to work correctly.
