Automation framework for software design and development

Abstract

Modern day programs are much larger and complex Further these programs need to be maintained frequently To cope up with this situation many software development technologies have adopted in the object oriented analysis and design paradigm The Business Process Modeling BPM is a system engineering activity of representing the process of an enterprise so that the current process may be analyzed and improved BPM supports automation in the software development process through model transformation and code generation The design phase is the foundation of development that decides the sustainability and success of the process Experts are involved in this phase to analyze the requirements given at early phase to provide an optimal design Any correction or update in this stage will save the time and cost of the development since the later parts lead to more The automation strategy encourages the involvement of non functional attributes in the early phases in order to develop efficient software Using an extended version of BPM notations is another opportunity to involve non functional attributes in software development One such an attribute is security where the integration of security requirements in the early stages of the software design process to reduce the errors and control chances during the development stage The security integration process needs to be optimized for the best performance The works performed in this thesis focuses on model transformation code generation with respect to automation and security Model transformation generates different UML models from a single source model to ease the designing process A successful model transformation produces various perspective models by incorporating the business process logic In work1 a generalized logical prediction algorithm proposed irrespective of the source and destination model newline
