A device and method for developing software for managing a business process. The steps of the method include (a) providing a plurality of business server objects associated with a database and a set of service functions, (b) providing a plurality of client interfaces which include a set of screens for collecting and displaying transaction data, (c) constructing a dynamic mapping between client interfaces. Step (c) further includes the steps of selecting a client interface, selecting a transaction to be implemented with the client interface, specifying a series of stages to implement the transaction resulting in a dynamic map of the transaction and translating the dynamic map into code. The device includes a first memory area for storing business server objects, a second memory area for storing client interfaces and an arrangement which provides a mechanism for selecting a client interface, a mechanism for selecting the transaction which uses the selected client interface, a mechanism for specifying a series of stages to implement a dynamic map of the transaction, and a code generator for translating the dynamic map into code.
