Model Transformation

Introducing Model Transformation

Model Transformations are a productivity tool that allow models to be manipulated to create more specialized or resolved models. The transformations can be applied to produce a variety of output models including logical and physical data models, XML Schema models, programming languages and more. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformations use a flexible and fully configurable template system.

• Generating from a Class model to a programming language model, including C++, C#, PHP, Java and many more
• Generating from a Class model to a data model, including ERD, Oracle, SQL Server, XSD and WSDL models
• Generating from a Class model to a test model, including NUnit and JUnit test models and more

Options for Model Transformation

Model Transformations are completely configurable using a simple and flexible template system. This includes the flexibility to create new user defined transformations and modify or extend existing ones.
