Throughout various posts we have been showing the different elements in software automation and theirs benefits. Here we summarize this methodology:

• Software Automation. Introduction. . First approach to the technology.
• Why code generation? . Explains the reasons to choose code generation in order to improve the software development process.
• Best Practices in Code Generation . Once we know what it is, we show some tips to generate code properly.
• 10 Benefits of Code Generation . List of benefits.
• DSLs . Following the path of automation, we explain what are Domain Specific Languages (DSL) and their benefits. The DSLs are necessary if we want our automation process to reach the highest level.
• Language Workbench . In order to design and use DSLs we need tools that provide these services. These tools are technically known as Language Workbenches, and they can also provide us the entire development process integration and even open the door to knowledge representation.
• Knowledge Representation and Software Automation . A more in depth analysis about this subject.
• Language Designers . Requirements of this new profile in sotfware development.
• Frameworks: the Better Half of Code Generation . Introduction and benefits of Frameworks and collaboration with code generation.
• Automation: the Whole Process . Compilation of the development process.

We will document more about our methodology in subsequent posts. Follow us on twitter (@Bheudek) to keep you posted on these and other issues.
