Abstract:
A programmed computer system includes a set of development tools, each having a format used to store data and code files. The output data from a developmental tool is transformed into a generic format data which is saved in a repository. The repository also contains all output data, application components, and information as to the relationship between the entities and objects stored in the repository. Each tool employed during the development process puts information into the repository and takes information out of the repository. In this way, the system integrates the tools used in different parts of the development process by passing necessary information from one tool to another. Different tools are employed through each of the development stages, legacy integration, enterprise modeling, domain modeling, writing and editing of business logic, generating skeleton code, component building and wrapping and application deployment.
