Generating Graphical User Interfaces from Precise Domain Specifications
Journal Title: e-Informatica Software Engineering Journal - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Turning requirements into working systems is the essence of software engineering. This paper proposes automation of one of the aspects of this vast problem: generating user interfaces directly from requirements models. It presents syntax and semantics of a comprehensible yet precise domain specification language. For this language, the paper presents the process of generating code for the user interface elements. This includes model transformation procedures to generate window initiation code and event handlers associated with these windows. The process is illustrated with an example based on an actual system developed using the presented approach.
