Converting a statechart from a first statechart format to a second statechart format

A non-transitory computer accessible memory medium comprising program instructions for converting a statechart from a first statechart development environment to a second statechart development environment, wherein the program instructions are executable to:

• receive a first statechart, wherein the first statechart is created in a first statechart development environment, wherein the first statechart implements a first functionality;
• parse the first statechart, wherein said parsing determines a plurality of elements of the first statechart;
• generate a markup language representation based on parsing the first statechart, wherein the markup language representation represents the plurality of elements of the first statechart;
• generate a second statechart based on the markup language representation, wherein the second statechart is in a second statechart development environment, wherein the second statechart implements the first functionality, wherein the plurality of elements of the first statechart comprise one or more data controls, guards, or actions specified in a textual language, and wherein the program instructions are further executable to:
• generate one or more graphical data flow diagrams which specify one or more data controls, guards, or actions, wherein the one or more graphical data flow diagrams correspond to the one or more data controls, guards, or actions, respectively, specified in the textual language of the first statechart;
• wherein said generating the second statechart further comprises including the one or more graphical data flow diagrams specifying the one or more data controls, guards, or actions in the second statechart;
• store the second statechart.

A computer system configured to convert a statechart from a first statechart development environment to a second statechart development environment, the computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory medium comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by the processor to:
• receive a first statechart, wherein the first statechart is created in a first statechart development environment, wherein the first statechart implements a first functionality;
• parse the first statechart, wherein said parsing determines a plurality of elements of the first statechart;
• generate a markup language representation representing the first statechart based on said parsing, wherein the markup language representation represents the plurality of elements of the first statechart;
• generate a second statechart based on the markup language representation, wherein the second statechart is in a second statechart development environment, wherein the second statechart implements the first functionality, wherein the plurality of elements of the first statechart comprise one or more data controls, guards, or actions specified in a textual language, wherein the program instructions are further executable to:
• generate one or more graphical data flow diagrams which specify one or more data controls, guards, or actions, wherein the one or more graphical data flow diagrams correspond to the one or more data controls, guards, or actions, respectively, specified in the textual language of the first statechart;
• wherein said generating the second statechart further comprises including the one or more graphical data flow diagrams specifying the one or more data controls, guards, or actions in the second statechart;
• store the second statechart.
