Abstract:
Today, Web and Mobile applications play an important role in any Information System (IS). Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) need these applications to digitalise themselves and be competitive in a globalised world. However, developing Web applications is a challenging goal. Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is a well-known process for the development of software systems. To sidestep the pitfalls concerning the adoption of MDE in the industry, and to provide SMEs with easy-to-use tools to enter the global market, the paper presents DNetGenerator, a tool which performs the automatic code generation of Web portals in C# code. The Web portals are part of a previous study, aimed at developing Technological platforms for SMEs, in order for them to create and manage a digital network. DNetGenerator allows the deployment of the Web portals on the cloud. The paper presents the process for using the tool as well. With DNetGenerator, SMEs will be able to design, generate and deploy their
Web portals, according to their requirements and without any programming skills.
