Model-Driven Development (MDD) is a software development approach that facilitates problem comprehension. MDD is carried out based on level of abstraction attained by working with models. When using models to create user-interfaces, development time can be reduced significantly. However, automatic user-interface generation is done with preestablished templates that might not fulfill all the requirements clients. These templates might also be too general and sometimes provide few customization options. In this paper, we review research on the usage of MDD for user-interface development. We also study how automatic user-interface generation can result in limitations as the need might arise for repeatedly modifying model and code.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
