Problems and Perspectives of Code Generation from UML Class Diagram

As a result of increasing technological diversity, more attention is being focused on model driven architecture (MDA), and its standard - Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML class diagrams require correct diagram notation mapping to target programming language syntax under the framework of MDA. Currently there are plenty of CASE tools which claim that they are able to generate the source code from UML models. Therefore by combining the knowledge of a programming language, syntax rules and UML class diagram notation semantic, an experimental model for stressing the code generator can be produced, thus allowing comparison of quality of the transformation result. This paper describes a creation of such experimental models.
