Towards Interactive, Test-driven Development of Model Transformations.

Test-Driven Development of Model Transformations

Key concepts [1] Short development iterations (often only a few minutes) Pre-written test cases Each iteration produces code necessary to pass the test cases TDD requires little overhead for the specification of test data, implementing test stubs, test initiation, executing test cases, the interpretation of test results, etc. Well-established development technique in code-centric development Be...

Model-Driven Development of Model Transformations

This thesis presents how evolving software models expressed in different formalisms can be kept consistent by means of an object-oriented integration of metamodeling, design by contract and graph transformation. It incrementally builds upon existing modeling languages to illustrate that the adoption of the new model-driven engineering paradigm does not force organizations to abandon their inves...

Model-Driven Development of Model Transformations

The model-driven development of model transformations requires both a technique to model model transformations as well as a means to transform transformation models. Therefore, the thesis underlying this paper evaluates and extends state-of-the-art model transformation approaches. For example, the thesis contributes a new language construct for modeling subgraph-copy operations. Perhaps surpris...

Towards Quality-Driven Model Transformations: A Replication Study

Commonly, there are several ways to transform a source model into a target model. These alternative target models may have the same functionality but can differ in their quality attributes. One of the key challenges of an automated transformation process is to identify the transformations that will produce a target model with the desired quality attributes. In this paper, we present a replica o...
