An MDA Approach to Testing the Tarzan Model Transformation Engine Model-Based Test Driven Development of the Tarzan Model-Transformation Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tarzan is an implementation of a ruleand pattern-based engine for the transformation of models defined using the Object Management Group’s (OMG) Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). The process for the development of the engine included the concurrent development of a unit test suite for the engine. The test suite is constructed as a number of models, whose elements comprise the test cases, and which are passed to a test harness for processing. The paper discusses the difficulties and opportunities encountered in the process, and draws implications for the broader problem of testing in a model-driven environment, and of using models for testing.

Development of an in-cylinder processes model of a CVVT gasoline engine using artificial neural network
Today, employing model based design approach in powertrain development is being paid more attention. Precise, meanwhile fast to run models are required for applying model based techniques in powertrain control design and engine calibration. In this paper, an in-cylinder process model of a CVVT gasoline engine is developed to be employed in extended mean valve control oriented model and also mod...
متن کاملAspect Oriented UML to ECORE Model Transformation
With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...
متن کاملMetamodels and MDA Transformations for Embedded Systems
Embedded system design needs to model together application and hardware architecture. For that a huge number of models are available, each one proposing its own abstraction level associated to its own software platform for simulation or synthesis. To produce a co-design framework, we are obviously obliged to support different models among all possible ones. Between these models we should produc...
متن کاملATC: A Low-Level Model Transformation Language
Model Transformations constitute a key component in the evolution of Model Driven Software Development (MDSD). MDSD tools base their full potential on transformation specifications between models. Several languages and tools are already in production, and OMG's MDA is currently undergoing a standardization process of these specifications. In this paper, we present Atomic Transformation Code (AT...
متن کاملApplying Black-Box Testing to Model Transformations in the Model Driven Architecture Context
Testing model transformations has played a leading role with the dissemination of MDA in software development processes. Software testing based on black-box testing, together with the “category partitioning” method, can be efficiently used in order to conduct the verification of model transformations. This study employs software testing techniques to an ATL model transformation in the MDA conte...
