WG2.2 EXPRESS-X Evaluation: Phase 2
No complete test of developed mappings in phase 1 due to non-availability of appropriate software tools at this time (end of 1998)
Phase 2 uses the ECCO XXL Toolkit of PDTec GmbH
- complete syntactic and semantic tests of the EXPRESS-X mapping specification
- full automatic code generation allows the direct execution of the mapping specification
Significant reduction of needed effort for coding the mapping spec.
- Coding time 1/16 compared to conventional coding (based on previous SDAI implementation experience at debis SH Industry)
Reduced effort for code maintenance
Combination of EXPRESS-X with EXPRESS and EXPRESS-C allows to mix declarative, procedural and object-oriented approaches
Easy customizing of mapping code
