Abstract

The Model-Driven Development aims to the implementation of systems from high-level modeling artifacts, while maintaining the focus of the development team in the application domain. However, the required models in this approach become very complex and, in many cases, the developer’s intervention can be required along the application infrastructure construction, then failing to keep the focus on application domain and could also be impaired synchronization between code and model. To solve this problem, we propose a tool where the developer just models the business objects through the use of Domain Patterns and Software Design Patterns, which is used to generate the application code. A naked object framework is responsible for the system infrastructure code. The use of the tool benefits the generation of functional applications, while maintaining the synchronization between code and model along the development.
