Abstract: Code generation is longstanding goal in software engineering. It allows more productivity of computer programming as it aims to provide automation of transformation of models into actual source code. This process has been covered adequately in many programming languages. However, this topic has not been covered sufficiently with regards to Fourth Generation Languages (4GL) which have a high specialized nature. The goal of this paper is to represent a systematic literature review of 4GL Code generation. The paper focuses on reviewing systemically the studies published in the past 20 years on the topic. This is to investigate the trends in the topic and the approaches introduced in order to identify potential new research lines.

Keywords: Software engineering; code transformation; 4GL; code generation; Model Driven Development (MDD); Extraction Transform Load (ETL); Model Driven Engineering (MDE); Rapid Application Development (RAD)
