Abstract

Model-driven development technologies are employed to increase the productivity of software factories. The traditional model-based development of UI requires high-quality human resources with specific skills about concepts and technologies to build applications successfully. The poorly inclusion of model-driven development technologies in computer science and engineering degree curricula in most universities leads to great stress on junior developers that have to adopt this technology in a very short period of time to become productive to the company. This is one of the challenges small companies and start-ups face when adopting this technology. This paper proposes a simplified transformation process that simple UML class models as input to produce Web form-based user interfaces. This process reduces the 2 meta-models and 2 transformation languages required to develop this type of user interfaces using traditional approaches to only one meta-model (UML) and one model-to-model-transformation language (ATL) to generate Web form-based user interfaces. Even though this approach is not as powerful as traditional approaches are, it is good enough to introduce junior developers to get in touch with the technology.
