Developing Web-Based Process Management with Automatic Code Generation

Abstract

Automated code generation and process flow management are central to web-based application development today. This database-centric approach targets the form and process management challenges faced by corporate companies. It minimizes the time losses caused by managing hundreds of forms and processes, especially in large companies. Shortening development times, optimizing user interaction, and simplifying the code are critical advantages offered by this methodology. These low-code systems accelerate development, allowing organizations to adapt to the market quickly. This approach simplifies the development process with drag-and-drop features and enables developers to produce more effective solutions with less code. Automatic code generation with flow diagrams allows one to manage inter-page interactions and processes more intuitively. The interactive Process Design Editor developed in this study makes code generation more user-friendly and accessible. The case study results show that a 98.68% improvement in development processes, a 95.84% improvement in test conditions, and a 36.01% improvement in code size were achieved with this system. In conclusion, automated code generation and process flow management represent a significant evolution in web application development processes. This methodology both shortens development times and improves code quality. In the future, the demand for these technologies is expected to increase even more.
