I’m really excited to announce the release of BESSER<\/a> version 1. Calling a software tool “version 1” is always an arbitrary decision but I do believe that at this point BESSER has enough features to be useful. Not so much for end-users yet. But definitely for “Innovators<\/a>” and researchers that are looking for a core platform that could be used to develop their own ideas without starting from scratch.

Lowcode features in this version<\/h2>\n

This version comes with four major improvements over our initial release<\/a> (useful reading also as a reminder of the key principles behind BESSER):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can now define OCL constraints<\/strong> as part of your model specification. We have integrated the OCL metamodel into B-UML (our pragmatic version of UML). And a grammar to enable you to write the constraints in plain text.<\/li>\n
  2. You can also create scenarios in the form of object diagrams.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. We have initial support for User Interface models<\/strong> so that you can also model your interface.<\/li>\n
  4. A REST API code generator<\/strong> to produce the RESTful service for Fast API framework<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And all this when the BESSER project is not even one year old<\/a>. Thanks to all the team members for the hard work \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f.<\/p>\n

    Read the docs<\/a> for more details on how to use these features. Or install BESSER<\/a> and start playing!<\/p>\n

    Immediate roadmap<\/h2>\n

    Our immediate focus is to improve the above features by:<\/p>\n
