Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of business modeling, and relates to a method and system for rapid business modeling and skeleton code generation based on the manufacturing domain. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the global manufacturing industry, digitalization, intelligentization, and automation have become trends. To achieve this trend, enterprises need software support for rapid customization to meet the ever-changing business requirements. However, traditional software development methods, due to their inherent cumbersome and inefficient nature, cannot meet such rapidly changing needs. Therefore, how to achieve rapid, efficient, and accurate business modeling and code generation has become an urgent technical problem.

[0003] In the current manufacturing field, there is still a lack of methods that can effectively perform business modeling, business decomposition, and business aggregation. Although there are some business modeling methods in other industries, these methods have not been combined with the generation of skeleton code, resulting in the failure to effectively improve the efficiency of system iteration, construction, or reconstruction.

[0004] In the current environment, monolithic applications are still the mainstay of the market. However, for large and complex software systems applied to the industrial manufacturing field, due to their characteristics such as complex business processes, numerous involved nodes, and intricate personnel roles, the design and development work of related software systems face great challenges.

[0005] To address the above challenges, traditional technical solutions often adopt a method of independently designing the analysis model and the implementation model for business modules in industrial manufacturing to conduct system design, which reduces the design difficulty of large and complex software systems to a certain extent. The recently emerging Domain-Driven Design (DDD) puts forward the requirement of consistency from business design to code implementation, no longer distinguishing between the analysis model and the implementation model. It provides a new design idea. By dividing business subdomains and bounded contexts, a unified language spanning business and technology is established, while conducting business modeling, connecting business and technical implementation.

[0006] However, the DDD-based business modeling methods in the prior art are not applicable to the extremely complex industrial manufacturing field. Its main disadvantages are as follows: there is no business decomposition solution suitable for industrial manufacturing industry specifications; the decomposition results often deviate from the actual situation, making it difficult to achieve the re-aggregation of the decomposition results and subsequent requirements such as modeling and skeleton code generation, and most of these methods can only be applied in non-manufacturing fields and cannot be used to solve the problems faced by the industrial manufacturing field. Specifically, it is reflected in the following aspects:

[0007] 1. Complexity: The existing technologies are mainly implemented based on domain-driven models, which usually involve complex concepts and terms, requiring developers to spend time understanding and mastering. This may lead to a steep learning curve, especially for novice developers. At the same time, introducing too many abstract concepts in the project may make the code difficult to understand and maintain.

[0008] 2. Existing modeling tools do not support the specific requirements of the manufacturing domain, such as complex production processes and supply chain management: The existing technologies do not have best practices in the manufacturing domain and cannot be combined with complex manufacturing domain operations.

[0009] 3. Lack of the ability to directly generate skeleton code from the business model, resulting in overly long development and deployment cycles. Existing technologies only perform business splitting or business modeling, are unable to handle complex business data modeling, and cannot generate corresponding skeleton code based on the business model.

[0010] 4. Difficult to support rapid business iteration and application updates.

[0011] 5. The changes in business and the iteration of the system are not synchronized. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for rapid business modeling and skeleton code generation based on the manufacturing domain, which can quickly disassemble business processes, conduct business modeling, and realize rapid generation of skeleton code according to the model.

[0013] To achieve the above purpose, the basic solution of the present invention is: A method for rapid business modeling and skeleton code generation based on the manufacturing domain, including the following steps:

[0014] Statistically classify each stage, role, and activity in the business process, and divide the main and secondary business domains.

[0015] Divide the business domain into multiple business sub-domains, sort out the business process, obtain the business domain where each business node in the process is located, the entry conditions, exit conditions of the node, and the interdependent relationships between them, and realize process modeling.

[0016] Obtain the data elements and business entities involved in each business node, conduct business modeling, and determine the business objects and their attributes.

[0017] Draw a logical data model based on the business objects and their attributes, and then convert the logical data model of the business objects and their attributes into a physical data model according to the characteristics of the target database system. And conduct service modeling according to the business functions of each business node, determine the required API services, and define the request and response formats for each API service.

[0018] Determine the software architecture pattern based on the API service and generate the business skeleton code.

[0019] The working principle and beneficial effects of this basic solution are as follows: This technical solution uses common Internet terms, greatly reducing the learning cost and implementation difficulty. It conducts business modeling in the manufacturing field and can quickly generate skeleton code by combining the business model and data model, reducing the R & D difficulty. Based on the reuse architecture of the middle platform API and the service orchestration ability of the API management tool, the generated code is optimized and concise, improving the operation efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the method of dividing the business domain into multiple business sub-domains and sorting out the business process is as follows:

[0021] S21, according to the business scenario, use the visualization domain division function in the modeling tool to define the business domain and manually divide the business objects into the corresponding business sub-domains to achieve the division of the business domain;

[0022] S22, use the modeling tool to draw the business process diagram and define the entry conditions and exit conditions for each step of the business process diagram;

[0023] Judge one by one whether the drawn business process diagram is missing according to the preset business links, whether it can form a closed loop, conduct verification, judge whether there are breakpoints in the business process to ensure that it reflects the real process of the actual business. At the same time, track and check the production process according to the visual blueprint, calculate the optimal business process according to the production efficiency, time consumption, and complexity of different business processes, so as to achieve the optimization of the business process;

[0024] S23, mark each decision point, interaction point, and task on the drawn business process diagram;

[0025] According to the role definition and function of each node marked on the business process diagram, establish a dependency relationship diagram with other nodes;

[0026] According to the functions and dependencies of the nodes, find the nodes with duplicate functions and merge them, and at the same time remove the redundant or unnecessary nodes on the node dependency path;

[0027] S24, define all possible states of the core business and establish the connection relationship between each state;

[0028] S25, import production simulation data for verification according to the business domain where each node is located, the entry conditions, exit conditions, and mutual dependencies of the nodes;

[0029] If an exception occurs, repeat steps S21 - S25 until the business process can pass the simulation data verification.

[0030] Divide the business domain into multiple business sub - domains and sort out the business processes, which is conducive to subsequent use.

[0031] Furthermore, the steps of obtaining the data elements and business entities involved in each business node, conducting business modeling, and determining business objects and their attributes are as follows:

[0033] Create an entity - relationship diagram to establish a relationship map between business objects;

[0034] S32, object attribute definition: For each business object, define its specific attributes;

[0035] S33, object deduplication and aggregation classification:

[0036] According to the functions borne by business objects and object attributes, find duplicate or similar business objects, and merge or reconstruct similar objects to ensure that each object has a unique definition and role;

[0037] According to the functions and uses of business objects, classify them into preset major categories. Through a visual business - ability aggregator, move the business objects to the corresponding types, or in the aggregation designer according to actual needs, use the box - selection tool to aggregate them together and conduct classification definitions.

[0038] Obtain the data elements and business entities involved in each business node, conduct business modeling, so as to be closely integrated with the manufacturing - domain business.

[0039] Furthermore, draw a logical data model based on business objects and their attributes, and then convert the logical data model of business objects and their attributes into a physical data model according to the characteristics of the target database system. The specific steps are as follows:

[0040] Based on business objects and their attributes, use a data - model designer to draw a logical data model in a visual way;

[0041] Add constraints and rules preset in the production field to the logical data model. A series of restrictive conditions and specifications are formulated according to business requirements, industry standards, and legal and regulatory factors, which are used to ensure that the data meets the expected quality and security requirements during the input, storage, processing, and output processes, so as to ensure the integrity, consistency, and security of the data;

[0042] According to the data - independence, sharing, and structural characteristics of the target database system, define the logical data in database language and convert the logical data model into a physical data model.

[0043] Combined with the business model and data model, it is beneficial for subsequent generation of skeleton code.

[0044] Furthermore, the method for service modeling according to the business functions of each business node is as follows:

[0045] Determine the required API services according to the business functions of each business sub - domain;

[0046] Define the request and response formats for each API service according to the interface design specifications;

[0047] Combined with the business process, input simulation parameters, and use the modeling tool to simulate the API service to ensure that it meets the business requirements and is compatible with the front - end or other systems.

[0048] Utilize the service orchestration ability of the API management tool to combine with the business in the complex manufacturing field.

[0049] Furthermore, based on the physical data model and service modeling, generate business skeleton code. The specific method is as follows:

[0050] Select the software architecture pattern according to the software development model;

[0051] According to the software architecture model, select the skeleton code framework, thereby defining the directory structure, naming rules, and coding standards of the target code;

[0052] Increase the directories for external storage and external communication by configuring new storage paths and communication interface directories and creating the corresponding directory structure in the file system;
