Model-Driven Engineering
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a software development approach that focuses on creating and manipulating abstract models rather than directly coding software. These models represent the system's structure and behavior, allowing developers to visualize and understand complex systems more easily. By using high-level models, teams can improve communication and reduce errors during the development process.
In MDE, models can be transformed into executable code or other models through automated tools. This process enhances productivity and ensures consistency across different stages of development. MDE is often used in conjunction with Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) to tailor the modeling process to specific application domains.
