generación de código, generación automática de código, CASE, IDE, desarrollo de softwareResumen
El desarrollo de software es una importante área en la ingeniería de software, por tal motivo han surgido técnicas, enfoques y métodos que permiten la automatización de desarrollo del mismo. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis de las herramientas para el desarrollo automático de software y la generación automática de código fuente, con el fi n de evaluarlas y determinar si cumplen o no con un conjunto de características y funcionalidades en términos de calidad. Dichas características incluyen efi cacia, productividad, seguridad y satisfacción, todo a través de una evaluación cualitativa y cuantitativa. Estas herramientas son 1) herramientas CASE, 2) marcos de trabajo (frameworks) y 3) ambientes de desarrollo integrado (IDEs). La evaluación se llevó a cabo con el fi n de medir no sólo la capacidad de uso, sino también el apoyo que brindan para el desarrollo de software automático y la generación automática de código fuente. El objetivo de este trabajo es proporcionar una metodología y una breve revisión de los trabajos más importantes para, de esta forma, identifi car las principales características de éstos y presentar una evaluación comparativa en términos cualitativos y cuantitativos, con la fi nalidad de proporcionar la información necesaria para el desarrollador de software que facilite la toma de decisiones al considerar herramientas que le pueden ser útiles.
