BESSER

BESSER is a low-modeling low-code open-source platform. BESSER (Building bEtter Smart Software fastER) is funded thanks to an FNR Pearl grant led by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology with the participation of the Snt/University of Luxembourg and open to all your contributions!

The BESSER low-code platform is built on top of our Python-based personal interpretation of a "Universal Modeling Language" (yes, heavily inspired and a simplified version of the better known UML, the Unified Modeling Language)
