We call executable such concepts that can be specified by some expressions and calculated. In modeling tools developed by No Magic, executable are:
Validation rules - that are predefined or custom constraints having a purpose to validate a model or particular model elements.
Derived properties - properties that are automatically calculated from the other properties.
Smart packages - that are special collections of model elements.
Executable opaque behaviors - reusable expression fragments callable form other executable concepts.
Metric definitions - calculate aggregate parameters of models.
Macros - a script that is created using a particular script language. With the help of macros, you can control items that are allowed in Developer Guide.
Opaque behaviors - a behavior with implementation-specific semantics.
In a modeling tool, executable concepts are defined in one of the languages that our modeling tool can evaluate:
StructuredExpression - a graphical way to construct expressions out of predefined blocks.
