Software Factories

Více o knize

The architects of the Software Factories method present a faster, more cost-effective, and reliable approach to application development, significantly enhancing automation in medium to large companies. This method utilizes visual languages for rapid assembly and configuration of framework-based components, distinguishing itself from other Model Driven Development (MDD) approaches like Model Driven Architecture (MDA), which rely on Unified Modeling Language (UML). Instead, Software Factories employ highly specialized Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) as source artifacts to capture lifecycle metadata and facilitate high-fidelity model transformation and code generation. As the demand for software outpaces the limited pool of skilled developers, traditional labor-intensive methods will give way to automated processes, resulting in cheaper, faster, and more reliable application development. Collaborating with industry experts, the authors aim to enlighten technical professionals on the evolving landscape of business application development. They address challenges faced by developers and introduce critical innovations such as Pattern Automation, Generative Programming, and Service Oriented Architectures. The Software Factories method promises to transform software development by reducing the costs of creating reusable assets and accelerating application assembly. The book delves into key enab
