ZAPATA, CARLOS MARIO  and  CHAVERRA, JOHN JAIRO. AN ENVIRONMENT BASED ON PRE-CONCEPTUAL SCHEMAS FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING SOURCE CODE UNDER THE MVC PATTERN. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2012, vol.79, n.176, pp.56-63. ISSN 0012-7353.

Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools are intended to support several phases of the software development lifecycle. At the present, it is almost impossible to develop software applications without them. One of the most desired features of CASE tools is its automated source code generation. Nowadays, several CASE and metaCASE tools attempted to do such generation, but they share two main problems: they use, as a starting point, technical languages which are not suitable for stakeholder validation, and they generate an incomplete and non-patterned source code. This is why in this paper we propose a CASE tool for automatically generating a PHP source code under the model view controller (MVC) programming pattern. We use pre-conceptual schemas as a starting point. We aim to generate a complete source code and to ease stakeholder validation.

Keywords : CASE; MetaCASE; GEF; MOFScript; EMF; MVC; PHP.
