Features: This book uses the Rational Unified Process (RUP) as a framework to describe the application of the MDA development method using xUML in a specific software development process. It is a summary of the author's years of software development experience. Through this book, readers can learn what Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) is, how executable modeling enhances MDA, what xUML is, how to create xUML models, how to complete the code generation process through mapping PIMs, as well as dynamic modeling and how to use xUML to represent this mapping. Compared to some books on MDA theoretical research, this book has better practicality and provides a more detailed introduction to the technical details of executable modeling. Many of the methods and ideas presented by the author in this book can be directly applied to software development practices (including development processes that do not use MDA methods). The author reveals the various advantages of MDA, a revolutionary software development method, through multiple examples in the book, and points out methods to leverage these advantages. This book is an excellent reference for anyone studying the future development trends of software development methods for large and medium-sized software projects, and is also suitable as a reference book for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science at universities and colleges.
