AutoCRUD: Automatic generation of CRUD specifications in interaction flow modelling language

摘要

Data-intensive Web applications are usually developed by means of specific Web application frameworks, which provide, among other features, the proper tools to automate redundant tasks, e.g. the implementation of CRUD operations. However, although Model-Driven Web Engineering (MDWE) approaches have defined specific languages and tools to significantly reduce development efforts, the provision of such automation tools has been traditionally neglected. This paper presents AutoCRUD, a WebRatio plug-in automating the generation of CRUD operations in OMG Interacting Flow Modelling Language (IFML). It has been developed as a joint effort by academia and industry to assess its validity in a real scenario. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
