What is a code generator and data generator? This study provides you examples and research articles about several program automation research fields. This state of the art illustrates various use-cases where tools can be used to generate code and data to ease the coder’s life.
In my latest article, we have been reviewing Ponicode, an interesting young software company that promises to generate your Javascript tests. The results of test generation tools have been quite loudly discussed. I decided to produce a second article about the domain and what a tool can do to ease the life of a coder. I may discuss product/software for each category in the next post.
What can a tool generate for you?
Generating code from something has been a long time researched domain. Perhaps from the first day, humans began to code; some wanted to automate the process.
During my studies and my early professional life, I have been working and socializing with some of the best researchers and part of the team’s work what oriented about some specialized “code generation” subject fields. Despite not pursuing in the research domain, I created the Tocea company with a focus on automated code quality and security analysis and automatic code refactoring and migration.
