The goal is to improve [[programmer]] productivity.<ref>James Wilcox, "[http://edgewatertech.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/paying-too-much-for-custom-application-implementation-code-generation/ Paying Too Much for Custom Application Development]", March 2011.</ref> It is often related to code-reuse topics such as [[component-based software engineering]].

==Source -code generation==

''Source -code generation'' is the process of generating source code based on a description of the problem<ref>{{cite web

* [[KPMG|Peat Marwick Mitchell]]'s PMM2170 application-program-generator package.

These application generators supported COBOL inserts and overrides.

A [[Macro (computer science)|macro]] processor, such as the [[C preprocessor]], which replaces patterns in source code according to relatively simple rules, is a simple form of source -code generator.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}} [[Source-to-source compiler|Source-to-source]] code generation tools also exist.<ref>Noaje, Gabriel, Christophe Jaillet, and Michaël Krajecki.
