ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE TECHNOLOGIES TO DEVELOP IDEs
As part of the project PIACERE, a new IDE will be delivered. The tool to be developed is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and therefore it must support up-to-date functionalities for programmers. A thorough study of existing technologies for building an IDE...
SUPPORTING THE GENERATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE THROUGH MODELLING APPROACHES
Currently, the PIACERE research team has submitted a paper to the 1st International Workshop on the Foundations of Infrastructure Specification and Testing (FIST) 2022. We identified four topics more closely studied in IaC-related publications, as follows: RQ1: IaC...
GENERAL ASSEMBLIES
During 2021, 4 General Virtual Assemblies and the first integration workshop were held. Due to COVID-19, the meeting was held online using Teams. The Project began in December 2020. In the PIACERE kick off virtual meeting, where all the partners met and the procedures...
AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF ANSIBLE AND TERRAFORM CODE
The Infrastructure Code Generator (ICG ) is the PIACERE component that allows generating executable infrastructural code (IaC) from models written in DevSecOps Modelling Language ( DOML). ICG can be seen as a DOML compiler that generates executable IaC code. The ICG...
