RM2EIS: A Tool for Auto-Generation of EIS from Requirements Model

Enterprise information systems(EIS) focus on dealing with the complex business logic of collecting, filtering, processing, and distributing data for improving productivity and service in our daily life. The successful development of enterprise information system is the labor-intensive activities in software engineering, it requires the sophisticated human efforts for requirements validation, system design, implementation and verification. Our previous work RM2PT can help to achieve a validated requirements model through automatically generating prototypes from requirements models to support incremental and rapid requirements validation. In this paper, we present a tool named RM2EIS to further alleviate the problem of system development by supporting automatically generate the back-end source code of enterprise information system from the validated requirements model, which are achieved by several round requirements validation in RM2PT. We demonstrate that RM2EIS can achieve higher quality code (+8.27%) with less time cost (-61.92%) than the manual development through 9 case studies. Overall, the results were satisfactory. The proposed approach can be further extended and applied for the EIS development in the software industry.
