There are a number of techniques available that allow code generation from a UML model. Learn how to debug the modeled behavior using both UML and the generated code. The following video shows the first integration between the modeling environment: Enterprise Architect (Sparx Systems) and the embedded IDE: MULTI (Green Hills). In the video the uml2code C-code generator (LieberLieber) is used. Watch the video!
