-Is there a difference between a program entity in source code or a model as presented in a UML class diagram?
+''How much different is a class in source code and a UML diagram?''
 
+Often modeling and programming worlds are unnecessarily separated from each other.
+This leads to several synchronization issues that make software development harder than necessary.
+For example, a change in the overall class design (UML diagram) needs manual adaption in source code.
+Also an edit in source code is not reflected in diagrams so that they tend to be out of date and in worst case useless for programmers.

-Model-based Source Code Editing 
-generates UML-like views of classes, methods, and their relationships being involved in a specific test case. Based on such mid-level abstractions, developers can edit these models and the related source code is changed automatically in background.

-(see also [wiki:path:pathView PathView]).
+We propose model-based source code editing that makes no difference between a model and the underlying source code.
+Our single-source technique relies on source code and test cases as executable program representations and allows developers to derive higher-level abstractions.
+This baseline enables a comfortable synchronization mechanism that reflects changes in the model directly in source code and vice versa.
+Based on such mid-level abstractions, developers can edit these models and the related source code is changed automatically in background.
+[wiki:path:pathView PathView] is our model-based source code editor that semi-automatically creates class diagrams for a specific concern.
+Depending on the development tasks, developers can now choose if they prefer a standard browser or a model and they can switch whenever desired.
