the Advantages of the modeling approach and especially its implementation on Flexberry

Development-controlled models

Development-driven models, (eng. model-driven development MDD) is a style of software development in which models become the main artifacts of the development that generate executable code, and other artifacts.

For construction applications it is necessary to create a formally precise model, which can then be automatically generated executable code.

By the standards of the Object Management Group (OMG) create application consists of the following steps:

1. First developed the domain model of the applications that are fully independent of the implementing technology.
2. Then she transformered special tool in the platform-specific model.
3. Finally, it is translated to source code in the appropriate programming language.

advantages of the approach

This approach allows you to:

1. To speed up the withdrawal the minimum viable product (Minimum Viable Product) on the market.
2. To undertake routine programming: generation application framework, model classes, database, and so on.
3. To resolve all disputes with the customer at the modeling stage.

features of the development at Flexberry

Flexberry uses based on the above approach, however, implementation has its own unique features:

1. Once the model is developed for a specific platform, there is no need to build a platform-independent model.
2. The model lays the framework of the business logic, implement it by adapting the executable application code.
3. There is a possibility of the connection of ready functional modules.
