TECHNOLOGY Review on Code Generation from UML Diagrams

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) [1] has now become the de-facto industry standard for object-oriented (OO) software development. UML provides a set of diagrams to model structural and behavioral aspects of an object-oriented system[2,3].Automatic code generation is efficient which, in turn, helps the software engineers deliver the software on time. This paper represents an review for generating efficient and compact executable code from UML diagram. For this we first preprocess the given diagram for its correctness and then verify if for the same and then try to optimize the obtained diagram from these stages so as to reduce redundancies present in the diagram and finally generate the code for it
