Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media include actions for composing non-functional concerns to be implemented with an application. In implementations, actions include receiving a requirements model that defines non-functional requirements and non-functional attributes associated with the non-functional requirements, for each non-functional attribute, identifying one or more actions, properties of each action and interdependencies between actions to provide an action model, defining an action composition model based on the action model, the action composition model defining orders of execution of actions and one or more activities, defining an action mapping model, the action mapping model mapping actions and activities to the application, generating computer-executable code based on the action mapping model, the computer-executable code being executable to provide a non-functional concern.
