What is MDE?

MDE can refer to several technologies, making it ambiguous without further context. Commonly, MDE refers to Model-Driven Engineering/Development. This is a software development methodology that focuses on creating and using domain-specific models to represent and build software systems. Instead of directly writing code, developers create models that represent the system's structure, behavior, and requirements. These models are then automatically transformed into code, configuration files, and other artifacts. MDE aims to increase productivity, improve software quality, and reduce development costs by raising the level of abstraction and automating repetitive tasks. It is commonly used in embedded systems, enterprise applications, and web development.
