Modeling, 10 times faster than UML
Current modeling languages are based on the code world, leading to a
poor mapping to organizations’ own domains and duplication of effort in
problem-solving, design and coding. Developing an in-house, domain-specific
language allows faster development, based on models of the product rather than
on models of the code. Industrial applications of this approach show
remarkable improvements in productivity and training time: up to ten times
faster in both cases. In this paper we describe why domain-specific modeling
is faster than current development methods and how to build a
domain-specific modeling language.
- MetaEdit+
revolutionized the way Nokia developes mobile phone software
Effective development tools are vital for increasing productivity and
improving the quality of products. When Nokia was searching for an effective
CASE tool, the prime criteria were encapsulation of domain knowledge,
flexible modeling language support and code generation. After evaluating a number of
off-the-shelf CASE tools, they undertook the development of their own
solution using the MetaEdit+ metaCASE tool from MetaCase. This decision has
been shown to be wholly justified.
