TOWARDS A NEW CODE-BASED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ENABLING CODE PATTERNS

Abstract

Modern software development is driven by many critical forces. Among them are fast deployment requirements and easy-to-maintain code. These forces are contradicted by the rising complexity of the technological landscape among others. We introduce a concept aiding in lowering these negative aspects for code-based software development. Protagonists of our work are explicit semantics in source code and newly introduced code pattern templates, which enable code transformations. Throughout this paper, the term code pattern includes architectural patterns, design patterns, and refactoring operations. Enabling automated transformations stands for providing means of executing possibly premature transformations.
