The JANUS Application Development Environment - Generating More than the User Interface

The increasing pressures of competition demand greater productivity and quality in the development of software. These goals are attainable by generating as much as possible and programming as little as necessary. Beginning with an OOA modeling of the problem domain component, this article will show how the user interface as well as the linkage to data keeping can be generated through an integrated approach. In addition, a client/server configuration is also possible. A OOA model upon which two generator systems are installed is the basis for generating.
