“…This is a typical distribution since industrials tend to not publish their work. This result shows that TBCG is used in industry as in [44]. Industry oriented papers have gradually increased since 2003 until they reached a peak in 2013.…”

“…Xpand is the most popular with 17% of the papers using a popular tool. Its popularity is probably due to its simple syntax and ease of use [44]. It is an MDE tool that relies on a metamodel specified in Ecore as design-time input.…”

“…For example, the work in [44] generates a C# API from Ecore models using Xpand. According to Definition 1, the templates of this TBCG example are Xpand templates, the design-time input is the metamodel of Ecore, the runtime input is an Ecore model, and the output is a C# project file and C# classes.…”

Template-based code generation (TBCG) is a synthesis technique that produces code from high-level specifications, called templates. TBCG is a popular technique in model-driven engineering (MDE) given that they both emphasize abstraction and automation. Given the diversity of tools and approaches, it is necessary to classify existing TBCG techniques to better guide developers in their choices. The goal of this article is to better understand the characteristics of TBCG techniques and associated tools, identify research trends, and assess the importance of the role of MDE in this code synthesis approach. We conducted a systematic mapping study of the literature to paint an interesting picture about the trends and uses of TBCG. Our study shows that the community has been diversely using TBCG over the past 15 years. TBCG has greatly benefited from MDE. It has favored a template style that is output-based and high level modeling languages as input. TBCG is mainly used to generate source code and has been applied in a variety of domains. Furthermore, both MDE and non-MDE tools are becoming effective development resources in industry.

“…Possatto and Lucrédio introduced an automation method that aims to synchronize the templates based on the changes to reference implementation in a template-based code generator [7]. Another study on templatebased code generation was presented by Jugel and Preusner [17]. In their paper, they gave a detailed description of a case study of C# API generation from Ecore models [22].…”

The importance and usage of web applications grow every day. Today from small businesses to large-scale corporations, many institutions prefer web applications for both their internal and external services. Code size and complexity of these kinds of applications grow rapidly. This brings up the question of how to improve the development process of web applications. A solution can be to use code generators. This paper introduces a template-based code generator to improve the development process of web applications. The code generator was developed and integrated into a real-life web application. Today, the web application together with the code generator is actively used in industry. This proves that an effective integration of a template-based code generator into a real-life large-scale web application can be achieved. In addition, the effectiveness of automatic code generation to manual implementation was shown with experimentation. Throughout the experiments, bug-free code generation was observed. Also, 98.95% improvement in average development time, 93.97% improvement in average test run count, and 49.37% improvement in average code size was achieved.
