Dedicated to my parents, wife Fariha and our children, Rameen and Sarmad for their love, encouragement and support The emergence of Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a standard for modeling systems has encouraged the use of automated software tools that facilitate the development process from analysis through coding. In UML, the static structure of classes in a system is represented by a class diagram while the dynamic behavior of the classes is represented by a set of statechart diagrams. To facilitate the software development process, it would be ideal to have tools that automatically generate or help to generate executable code from the models. In the present study, an effort has been made to find methods to automatically generate executable code from the UML class and statechart diagrams. An objectoriented
