What is Cleanscape SourceMill?

• Classification
• Automatic source code generation engine
• Function
• Automatically generates commercial-grade code for
  virtually any language or platform from
  industry-standard models defined during the
  design phase of a software development project

• Benefits
• Facilitates rapid development of software
• Bridges the gap between design and coding
• Continuously enhances application development
  productivity
• Creates consistency across versions and platforms
• Implements and enforces standards
• Enhances the ability to rapidly develop and
  modify applications

What is needed to automatically generate code?

• Object model
• The formula for creating the code
• High-level structure that describes part of an
  application.
• Defines data objects, state transitions, process
  interactions, etc.
• Template file
• The storehouse of classes, or ingredients
  required by user to generate code for multiple
  languages and/or platforms
• Defines a set of code patterns, which provide
  code fragments and algorithms needed to
  instantiate the object model.
• SourceMill
• Synthesizes Model requirements with Templates
  classes
• Automatically generates clean code for the object
  model based on the template file.

Automatic code generation

• Object model
• The Formula. Provides SourceMill with a
  framework.
• Tells what objects, or ingredients, it needs from
  Template, and how they should be put together.
• Template
• A storehouse of all classes available for
  languages and platforms defined by user.
• Code generation engine
• Synthesizes Model Template by extracting from
  Template classes, or ingredients, defined in
  Model for target language and/or platform.
