What is the purpose of GENMODEL's "generate model/edit/test code" ? [message #1065740]

Hi

First, I apologize for bothering you with a very basic question. This is my first question to this forum.

Genmodel has the following code generation options
1. Generate Model code
2. Generate Edit code
3. Generate Editor code
4. Generate Test code

I understand the need of the EDITOR CODE for creating a editor for the model.

But what is the purpose of the other code generations. What might be the possible use cases of model/edit/test code?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,

Model: The model contains all entities, packages and factories to
create instances of the model.
Edit: The edit plugin contains providers to display a model in a
UI. For example the providers offer a label for every model element,
which can be used to display an entity showing an icon and a name.
Editor: The editor plugin is a generated example editor to create
and modify instances of a model.
Test: The test plugin contains templates to write tests for a model.

Cheers
