基于低代码开发范式的Web Service生成方法

doi:10.16088/j.issn.1001-6600.2022022602

Abstract

Abstract: In order to design and implement reliable Web Service applications, developers still need to hand-code complex business logic, which is a tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone task. In order to solve the problem, a Web Service generation method based on the low-code development paradigm is proposed by combining requirements prototyping technology RM2PT. The proposed method establishes transformation rules for OCL expressions, extracts the code features of such applications, constructs transformation templates, and creates transformation algorithms for processed and parsing the requirements model. The method is demonstrated through four case studies. The result of the experiment shows that about 93.3% of the system operations can be generated automatically. Compared with traditional software development methodologies, the new approach can automatically generate standardized Web Service directly from requirements models, which can improve the efficiency and quality of software development. Furthermore, this approach can fully support iterative development in rapid prototyping in which requirements may keep changing, because the approach provides a GUI for users to validate, edit and change their requirements, and the approach can regenerate the Web Service accordingly.

Key words: requirements model, Web Service, low-code, UML, OCL
