Template-Based Code Generation Framework for Data-Driven Software Development

Today's modern information era society imposes great necessity of various software applications which now have an increasingly important impact on human life. The need for software applications and developers is rapidly increasing. To make up that demands enterprises have to make more applications in shorter time frames. Workload of software companies is constantly increasing, as they not only have to develop new applications but also have to maintain existing software by promptly responding to the business changes and do so in an appropriate manner. In order to respond to the growing demands, this paper presents code generator tool which automatically generate production-ready source code based on the provided template. Use of template generator provides well-structured generated code, faster and cheaper application development and maintenance. In addition to the financial benefits, code generators preserve identical code structure and way of coding in every generated file, which makes next cycle in software life easier. In order to facilitate developers' tasks code generator presents concept of customize template library. Our goal was to produce a code generator which is simple to use, customize and which acts as the skeleton to downgrade the development time and expenses.
