Se2030-03 Synchronizing Source Code With UML Models

The document discusses round-trip engineering and synchronizing source code with UML models. It describes forward engineering as refining a system model into designs and implementation, and reverse engineering as abstracting a system's design from its implementation. Round-trip engineering allows modifying models at any level and properly reflecting changes in higher and lower level models. Synchronization keeps the model and source code consistent when changes are made to either.

Synchronizing source code with UML models

 Forward engineering: a system model is refined from an architecture into


designs at several levels of abstraction, and, eventually, an implementation.

 Reverse engineering: a system’s design and/or architecture is abstracted


from its implementation.

Synchronizing source code with UML models

 Round-trip software engineering.


 Forward engineering: a system model is refined from an
architecture into designs at several levels of abstraction, and,
eventually, an implementation. Certain system aspects may
be implemented directly from an architectural description.
 Reverse engineering: a system’s design and/or architecture
is abstracted from its implementation. Modifications to a
model at any level must be properly reflected in higher- and
lower-level models

Synchronizing source code with UML models

 Round-trip engineering based on UML needs three basic


components for software development:
 Source Code Editor;
 UML Editor for the Attributes and Methods;
 Visualization of UML structure.
 An example of basic round-trip engineering is accessible as a
web-based Open Source tool is:
 JavaScript Class Creator allows integrated round-trip engineering for
JavaScript Classes.
 UML Diagrams are generated with a diagram library JointJS.
 Editing of Javascript Source Code is realized with the editor ACE

Synchronizing source code with UML models

 Synchronize Model and Code


 In addition to generating and importing code, Enterprise
Architect provides the option to synchronize the model and
source code, creating a model that represents the latest
changes in the source code and vice versa.

Synchronizing source code with UML models

 Use model as the source, or the code as the source.


 For example: you generated some source code, but made
subsequent changes to the model.
 When you generate code again, Enterprise Architect adds
any new attributes or methods to the existing source code,
leaving intact what already exists.
 This means developers can work on the source code and then
generate additional methods as required from the model,
without having their code overwritten or destroyed.
