Many companies tried to automate app creation like that. The entire CASE industry mentioned in the article was working on that.
Not one of them produced anything worth using. It was nothing to do with Microsoft.
The real reason that UML died is that it was a solution in search of a problem that it could actually solve. It was one that had a lot of appeal for people, so it took longer to die than it should have. But it died because in practice, it was largely useless.

- intrasight 6y agoCASE is a very 1990s term - definitely deprecated. UML is awesome IMHO and I've used it on every CRUD app that I've built. I am saddened about it's lack of widespread use.
- antonvs 6y agoThe point about CASE is that there was a whole segment of the industry focused on addressing this problem, and it basically went nowhere. Today there are a zillion CRUD generator tools, most of which don't use UML. It's not difficult. Many people who've worked on CRUD apps have probably written some autogeneration thing themselves at some point. Automating some boilerplate code generation doesn't solve any challenging problem in software development.
